Pros

Promotion/Bonus Potential Drive New Cars Learn About Business

Cons

You will work around 60hrs a week with essentially angry people confronting you all day Cleaning cars in professional business attire Bonus Structure Setup to Payout Very Little No, and I truly mean no, support from upper management; only interaction is when goals (sometimes legitimate and obtainable, most times not) are not being met. Threats of firings are the standard form of motivation Constant Turnover Zero life work balance (What good is driving a car home if you are too wornout to do anything after work?) Initially trained for a week and then almost totally on one's own All this for 10-11 an hour I am not disgruntled, merely providing a realisitic view of working for Hertz from a fairly normal person because it seems upper management is attempting to dilute the true results of this useful 3rd-Party Website...

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.
