Pros

Branch Managers get a company car

Cons

EXTREMELY micromanaged, commission structure is constantly being changed (3 times this past year), constantly adding/changing policies and procedures, a lot of the changes are a result of admin's passing off their work to operations when we already can't keep up with current administrative work, upper management is untrustworthy, some upper management has in my experience withheld information in order to push their own personal agendas, fear of punishment is often used as a means of trying to get results or push for good performance, goals are almost unattainable due to workload and lack of time to focus on performance, upper management seems out of touch with local operations, high turnover rate, vey stressful, many employees would agree that we are under-appreciated, A lot of things like training are initiated as formality meant to be a form of documentation needed to terminate employees instead of an attempt to actually help or train employees. Most of the time a promotion is only available because someone either quit or got terminated,

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's a job in a bad economy. Decent vacation time but no money to go anywhere.

Cons

Favoritism, nepotism. We used to get profit sharing now it goes wherever it goes. New commission structure is bad.Dollar thrifty and hertz are all one yet hertz does all dollars work while they make the money and close whenever they want. Customers are always aggressive and rude.sick time is unrealistic. If you have any condition you have to get fmla and the company they use always refuse it. ,yet somehow the people that aren't sick are always on fmla.
