Pros

Company vehicle with gas card, expense account, great guys to work for at the branch level, good customer service to their customers, largest rental company so good brand recognition, good training's.

Cons

Pay, hours, micromanagement, too much middle management, to many reps per territory, typical corporate company atmosphere, meaning you are just a number and treated as such. they expect you to be in the field at around 6:30 am until 6:30 pm and then spend a couple hours a day on the computer for about $45,000 a year.

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
