Pros

If you are into tech, this place is amazing. They invest in the latest and greatest tools. If you have an idea, they will let you test it. You don’t have to go through a million people to get approval. They rather ask for forgiveness then ask for permission so if you have an entrepreneurial mindset, you’ve arrived at the right place. If you are hard worker and have a good manager, you will advance quickly. There are very young people in high positions (which sometimes can also be a con as they can also lack experience)

Cons

Upper management has no idea how to care for their employees. They will put your life at risk and make it seem like it is your choice. They like to call themselves a tech company, but they have very outdated policies and do not trust their employees. A lot of micromanaging. Everything is done “the German way” when it is convenient for them.

Pros

It's an unrecognized job by management, they don't care about you unless you make them more money so they get bonuses. All they care about is performance metrics, no matter what you do to your co-workers.

Cons

Expected to work in an outdated color arrangement that is mostly black. When it's 100 degrees out, on hot asphalt, not ideal. They expect you to log the tiniest damage so that they can bill the customer. Do they not take depreciation on the cars. Their fuel gages are wonky and don't work right. I believe they are charging customers for fuel when they shouldn't.
