Pros

Overtime pay on holidays is the only pro I can think of.

Cons

Where do I start? At the Corpus Christi location, we were told to lie and tell customers we were out of the type of car they booked and force customers into paying for upgrades. We had ridiculous policies around the use of debit cards, which would sometimes lead to customers being physically violent towards us. The system would present a different charge at the counter than what the customer was quoted online and there was no way to fix it due to the dated software Hertz uses. They pressure you to make sales but give you no other sales training other than the afore-mentioned lying to customers. I've been in sales for 15 years and asked so many times how to overcome certain objections and all my GM had to say was "Just say you strongly recommend they buy coverage" The hours are ungodly. I agreed to a 3pm-11pm shift but often ended up staying until after 1am due to flight delays. They don't pay you nearly enough for the stress, drama, and trauma

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
