Pros

Very 8-5. You clock in, clock out and get on with the rest of your life. 401K and Health/Dental Benefits When i started the job didn't have much of a "Wow" factor, but it was a stable job from an industry leading company that's been around for over 50 years. Towards the of Electro Rent's independent years, there was a real refreshing feel about some of the initiatives that were happening at the company. They invested in social media, videos and other forms of marketing, there were high-quality promotional items for giveaways, and we got to go to a lot of cutting edge conferences and trade shows. However that changed with the "merger."

Cons

Total "cubicle farm"/dead end job feel. Arbitrary rules and policies New management are clueless When Electro Rent and Microlease "merged" everything changed. It was essentially Microlease's takeover of Electro Rent, while keeping the Electro Rent name and it showed. Overnight the look and feel of the place was very "good ol boys" and "We have to win at all costs!" Some things Electro Rent was quietly known for, (Job stability, diverse work force) were erased. The new management said cute buzzwords like "open door policy" and "townhalls," but truthfully employees were constantly left out of the loop. My manager was fired and NO ONE had the decency to tell me they were let go. Rather I got a new "manager" who showed up to say they are running the ship now. My gosh, how can a company so close to the cutting edge of technology be so far behind. Look this company up online, all of their interesting quality marketing materials, videos, and updates just seemed to have suddenly halted this past spring. What's left is something our sales guys can't even use. How can we "WIN" if you don't give us the tools!
