Pros

Big Company, Great experience to put on your resume

Cons

Big Company so at the end of the day you are just a number and even if you work for the company for a significant portion of your life with full loyalty they dont care and will never value you for what you are. HR is corrupt and unfair practices like favoritism and discrimination run rampant amongst upper management. All employees are taken advantage of all the time and they are given nothing wrong. I have seen masses get mistreated, fired for no reason, promoted when they didnt deserve it and a bunch of regulation breaches. They will also make you work anywhere from 50-70 hours a week and most years I did not even get the vacation days that were promised to me when I joined. Awful experience - like being in a horrible, abusive and unappreciative relationship. I am so glad for my mental health that I don't work there anymore

Pros

If you have a solid management team that creates a positive culture, it can be a good place to work. Women have the ability to get promoted faster and easier. Drive a company car at the branch manager level.

Cons

Motivation and leadership is fear driven. At all levels. Hit your numbers, or get written up. Because of this, employees do shady business practices which gives the rental car industry a bad name. "Senior" leadership looks the other direction (GM, AM) as it pads their territory's numbers. These shady practices get rewarded with promotions which creates an endless cycle. The bonus structure has changed countless times and not for the better... salary can increase year over year but your total take home pay decreases. No communication between the branches and the pricing. The strategy is to overbook and let the branch deal with unhappy customers. The high utilization causes branches to put cars out on the road, that may not be safe, continuing to give the industry a bad name. Extremely long hours and stress. Not uncommon to work 60 plus hours a week. And have to come in on weekends. Harder to promote if you are male.
