Pros

Great brand, great CEO in Kathy Marinello and the senior team in the US, positive actions by US HQ, and business seems to be turning around at a global level

Cons

Across Europe, talent is being stifled, there is little respect for regular employees, sarcastic comments made publicly by senior leaders and there is zero flexibility for anything related to work life balance, all at odds with everything in the modern working world.

It hurts to work at Hertz.....

Branch manager trainee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Make you feel special because they only hire college graduates. They don’t tell you the truth about the real duties of your job when you are hired so you feel like you are entering in a professional environment that is going to focus on getting you to the next step as a Branch Manager.

Cons

Where do I start? Long hours, non-stop cleaning dirty cars, half the day spent as an Uber driver picking up customers and shuffling cars around to body shops for $13 an hour for a college graduate....Disrepectful coworkers who spend most of their day making fun of drivers and customers as well as other coworkers and upper management. They will often manipulate the system to rent cars that are due for oil changes and even rent cars with safety recalls. Hertz will do anything to make a $1 at the cost of employee and public safety...Don’t rent from Hertz....Poor working conditions....You’ll be lucky if there is toilet paper in the bathroom

Everything is pretty good. Cleaning cars isn’t the greatest thing in the world.

Pros

New bonus opportunities. The best thing is the car at the end of the day. No insurance, no gas, no maintenance, and no car payments

Cons

CLEANING CARS!!!! Cleaning cars is definitely the worst part about this job. Not the funnest thing in the world. Sweating and then renting cars is not ideal.
