Hertz reviews

Overworked and under paid Advancement is limited favoritism is huge and does not go really by seniority nor performance base Does not value their employees and only cares about numbers and that is it Never good enough in anything you do or have done

Extremely long hours. Once someone becomes Sr. Branch Manager or above the phone and work lap top takes away from your work life balance. Not a perk at all. Under paid for the amount of work you're expected to do. In order to be successful you must learn to wear different hats and be able to do the job of many. Which is fine but the compensation doesn't equate to the work load put on. There are awesome people who work at Hertz. Very smart and talented individuals working in branches and airports (which is why many companies like when they get someone with extensive rental car background). But when you get people who genuinely care about their work and work ethic to continuously get worked to the bone and beat up by middle and upper management, are the same employees who are customer facing and hate their job. (And becoming wasted talent ). With that being said, not everyone working is talented. Staffing levels get so bad anyone with a working heart beat often gets hired so doors stay open at branches. This puts a strain on employees who have to pick up the slack for employees hired not qualified to work in sales or customer service. I used to think all large companies worked the same. Tight pockets. No work life balance, and constant verbal degradation from management. This was until you speak with others working for other large companies or you join another company that's financially successful by doing the exact opposite. But it was nice driving those new cars though!
