Hertz reviews

Leadership team still struggling with financial realities, and would rather ‘stretch’ the truth than be realistic. HR not delivering the needed change to create a great workplace. Many experienced people are leaving. The right talent is not recognised. Gender is not the only criteria to consider (speaking as a female).

All I can say is run while you can! A couple of notes to the environment at Hertz: - You are micromanaged and expected to work 10 plus hours a day and always be on-call. They give you a cell phone and laptop for a reason. Nights, weekends, PTO... no one is covering for you and you are asked to work. If you are sick- they still expect you to work. I was on PTO and going into surgery and was written up for not answering a phone call. Sorry- I was unconscious. - Very stressful environment! You are given strict metrics and if you get close to meeting them, the bar is raised. They want you to fail! I saw one of my colleagues taken to the hospital for a panic attack and another colleague had a heart attack. A couple months later- they were "laid off." - Very poor management! They hire based upon the "good ole' boys/girls club" not by qualifications. The manager's are toxic. On my first day of employment, I was asked "Do you have kids?"- When I responded "no" my manager said "Good because I'm sick of that excuse." - Job security is a joke! They have hiring freezes and "lay-offs" non-stop. Managers like to use this as a scare tactic. During a team meeting our manager shared "I need to let 2 of you go, I just haven't decided who yet." There's a way to boost morale! Layoffs happen right before the Holidays or before annual bonus' are due. Great timing from a company financial perspective....
