Pros

You learn a lot about logistics, sales and operations you make good money if you work hard, good trainings, you own your business and provide employment to others, overall great school if you can handle the pressure, some of the original operators in the area lasted over 15 years

Cons

Not enough fleet when needed; area managers sometimes are MIA or have no solution when problems arise because they are overwhelmed, so basically you have to solve the problems by your self; sales pressure absurd for some people and they just quit or get fired, I was fortunate enough to had great CSI (sales) but some were not; rates sometimes are not competitive and you take a toll on your sales (you do not control the base rates); there are multiple glitches on their computer system that mess up the rates and availability and you have no control on that, I brought these issues several times but learned to live with them because due to excessive bureaucracy it was basically imposible to fix permanently; middle management unfortunately does not control a lot of issues, they try, the problem is planning on availability and fleet on upper management as well as global strategy

Pros

I've been with Avis Budget Group for 16 years, and one of the biggest reasons I've stayed is the opportunity for growth. I've had multiple promotions throughout my career because the company has consistently been willing to invest in people who work hard, take ownership, and deliver results. No two days are ever the same, which keeps the work interesting. I've had the chance to lead teams in multiple markets, work alongside talented leaders, and continually develop new skills. The business is fast-paced, but it gives you the opportunity to make decisions, solve problems, and have a real impact on both customers and employees. I've worked with leaders who genuinely care about developing talent, and many of the people I've worked with have built long-term careers here. If you're willing to put in the effort, there are significant opportunities to grow professionally and take on increasing levels of responsibility. The company also continues to invest in new technology and operational improvements, making it easier to serve customers and support employees.

Cons

Like any customer-facing operation, there are busy periods that can be demanding, especially during holidays and peak travel seasons. Success requires flexibility, strong communication, and the ability to adapt quickly to changing business needs. The pace isn't for everyone, but for people who enjoy problem-solving, leadership, and working in an environment where every day is different, those challenges become opportunities to learn and grow.
