Hertz reviews

You work an average 55-60 hours during peak season , then watch out they cut the hours big time even before the X-mas season. The hourly pay is not substainable & the job is really designed for someone that lives at home with their parents. You will wash alot of cars even in your nice clothes they want you to wear in front of the customer. The Quartly bonus is never consistant, it changes every 2-3 mths & you are subject to driving your gas out to work at another location if that location does not have a manager or more than one employee. Also the programs operates as slow as the hiring process; you cannot advance in one year to Branch Managers especially if your branch is understaffed like most of them are across the USA!!! Hertz officially screwed everyone at the bottom of the food chain, Manager Trainee, Assistant Branch Managers in Michigan did not get the 1st Quarterly bonus due to some Net Promotor Score which just became a new factor in 2012. Unfair work practices from a Global Company, the company was profitable but the wages at the bottom remain unsatisfactory. If the company keeps changes the policies for the quarterly bonus program you are left with just $10.50 & tell me who can pay their monthly expenses on just that alone?

This is a sales job though they try to mask it pretty well. If you do not meet your quota on additional sales revenue per day (SRPD) for 3 months consecutively you will be terminated. That would have been nice to know up front instead of 2 weeks after working for the company, but oh well. Their is no work/life balance. You can expect to work 55+ hrs/week minimum needing to stay over at random. There were times my paychecks would have more overtime pay than regular pay. I would venture to say 75% of the Branch Manager's or Trainee's (and every title in-between) are very burnt out, and often seek other employment. This leads to an unbelievably accepted amount of turnover in employees every year, so don't expect to get too close to your co-worker you spend 12+hrs/day with. As is the case with any rental car company, you run very low on cars. Fleet is expensive in this industry and obviously you want to pay for as little as possible for it. However you typically still accept all online reservations and business even though the cars aren't there which creates a lot of understandably upset customers.
