Pros

Fun sales environment (if your manager and staff allow it to be). Its a great job for those who like to do a lot of things everyday. you drive different cars everyday. You can get a Hertz car if of your own if you are a branch manager!

Cons

Its a job. It can get rough, and turn over has been random. People quit at an uncertain time. Some leaders are not supportive, nor do they listen to you. I do not like sales program- I once sold a huge contract worth $1000+ only to ruin my streak with a return that had no sale on it. SRPD system sucks.

Pros

Good discounts on used and new cars. Health benefits are ok.

Cons

Be prepared to be on call 24/7. Work/life balance is extremely poor. Senior management is disconnected from the rest of the company and will do anything to max out their bonuses. This includes cutting out employee perks and training. Unrealistic targets are set, which creates a lot of finger pointing and dog eat dog environment.

Pros

A paycheck (albeit a tiny one) every week. I'm only writing this because I honestly can't think of ANYTHING ELSE.

Cons

Absolutely terrible work conditions. The ceiling in every hertz office building is literally falling apart, including in their corporate offices near major airports. Everyone who works here hates it so the atmosphere is horrifiengly grim, especially when coupled with irate customers who insist that you bow to their every wish (except for a very tiny portion, I'm talking 3-5 people out of about 100 customers). They pay rate sucks for requiring a college degree. The products are a rip off, the condition of cars are horrible because management trainees are required to clean them and often have very little time to do so since the cars are being pulled from other locations. As a college graduate - get ready to use NONE of the things you learned in school, not one person here is professional or respectful. I was berated by a nasty woman at one of the central hertz locations for asking for a car to take back from training. I've often heard that you aren't supposed to like your job, but this is pushing it. I'd rather be waterboarded than have to deal with working at this place. This list is not complete but believe everything negative you see on these reviews, they're all 100% true.
