Pros

Great people to work with. Move up quick because of huge turnover. Get experience in managing people; learn how to manage a branch from the ground up. This includes managing: your fleet, managing customers, managing back office reports and more. You learn how to think fast on your feet. Great place to start your career, but they burn you out and after three to four years you are done.

Cons

Long hours, managers are expected to put in 60+ hours. No personal life. High stress environment. Deal with difficult customers and body shops. Lack of fleet. Upper management expects branch managers to cut hours to make up for Mark Frissora screw up. This hampers customer service because the branch manager have to run short staffed. The sales expectations have now become unreasonable and unattainable. To many conference with upper management that interfere with day-to-day business. The pressure is higher than it has ever been. Not sure where the company is going. Many BM’s in the company are feed up.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
