Pros

As a Branch Manager and higher you get a free car, gas and insurance for your personal use. You can switch the car everyday if you'd like. I do because why not. If you're a minimalist like me the pay is fine. My salary is 42k/year. Managers and above get paid biweekly as opposed to those beneath you who get paid weekly. The scheduling in pretty lax. More lax than any other job I've had. If you want to relocate you can apply to different positions since Hertz is nationwide.

Cons

LONG HOURS! As a branch manager you don't have control over who they hire for your store so you can end up with two lackluster employees (like I have) They want you to constantly grow your store and get more fleet on the road but they won't give you more cars to do so. My location is constantly sold out of cars. If you have children this is not the job for you. If you want your store to be run well you need to be prepared to work way past closing. You're not paid enough for the amount of work expected to do. Customers can be very annoying with their demands. They need back up cameras, lane assist sensors etc and sometimes the vehicles just don't have that. Every once in awhile a customer will get unruly. I've had to call the local police department a couple of times on a customer.

Pros

NONE At all. Would highly recommend never working here. Don’t put yourself through the misery or anyone else for that matter. Management is evil. Beware.

Cons

EVERYTHING that is wrong with corporate america all wrapped up with a bow. I would really stress with importance that you might make Ok money but that isn’t everything. Emotional abuse and micro managing is NOT worth it. This department will not be around much longer.

Pros

All the hours, and guff you can take. Your pay is salary, and your boss won't leave his office chair.

Cons

renting from others to cover equipment your mechanics can't fix. Trying to cover other equipment rental company names with Hertz stickers. All the hours, and Guff you can take, from upper Mgmt, and ticked off customers, because you don't have the equipment, that upper Mgmt told you to tell them you did have.
