Pros

If you are hourly you will get plenty of overtime, even if you don't want it. Standard days are 10 hours, but usually more due to under staffing.

Cons

The company is run by a bunch of idiots. They institute policies that cripple business, and the front line employees have to circumvent the policies to anything done. With the most recent buyout of another car rental business, they laid off the old big wig idiots who knew a little about Hertz, and now we have new big wig idiots who know their car rental company, and nothing of Hertz. Be careful when they talk about bonus potential, because they will change the criteria on a dime to ensure you miss goals. Forget about going to human resources, they are worthless as well. Any time they were called to help with employee issues or staffing problems, it would take an act of God to get them to call you back. Couple that with a new city manager who provided zero help to problems, and instead would give you "atta boys" and "it will get betters", it's amazing these idiots can function in society. I would avoid this company like the plague. If you read this review and still want to work at Hertz, than you are an idiot too, and will fit right in.

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.
