Pros

It's a job, they will keep you employed and busy. You learn the correct way to deal with people and handle pressure situations and resolve conflicts. A lot of responsibility is given to entry level employees and how that is handled is up to you.

Cons

The job has zero balance of work and life, always work 6 days a week with many 7 day weeks thrown in for good fun. The pay is beyond bad, you get to dress like a professional to make slightly more than the guy at the McDonald's . The only real care is your selling regardless of your management skills, customer satisfaction or commitment to the job selling is the only thing that will keep you around.

Pros

Car rental discounts, commission, some of the employees are nice and will help you out. You get a uniform. That's pretty much it.

Cons

This is not the place to work! I mean if you just need a paycheck and don't care where you work, then go ahead. Working at Hertz is all about "playing the game." You will find out what that means if you start working there. On top of that, the job they had me doing was completly 100% different from what they told me during the interview. I did not sign up to work outside barely making any commission b/c the way it's set up it's hard to make any outside. And if you do, it's mostly due to luck. I can't even imagine doing car returns outside during the summer and winter. So, I left. It's amazing how they get away with the things they do. Run, fast!

Pros

the pros to working for Hertz are that you get to drive cool cars and rent at reasonable prices when traveling. It's not a traditional office job, you get to be out and about building relationships with people. It's a great way to network. Work with great people and the benefits are good, earning potential due to bonuses are up to you.

Cons

Very long hours, the store is open 11 hours a day and has to be staffed full time dependng on the number of employees and the number of satilite offices you have this can be challenging. Pressure to sell even when you're doing your best month after month one bad month and they jump all over you the standards are high but resources to meet the needs are low. not enough time for professional development or crosstraining.
