Pros

Good co-workers. It's one of the only jobs that will hire you with little experience in this tough economy.

Cons

Greatly understaffed cannot be emphasized enough. They expect you to clean cars, answer 4 phone lines at once, assist a line of customers, book reservations all at the same time while you're the only one in the office. You'll make a very low salary for busting your back on a daily basis. They expect you to clean cars in a shirt and tie when it's 100 degrees. Also, expect to work 60+ hours/per week. There is no work-life balance. Expect to work 7-6 on a daily basis. This is a SALES job. Do not be confused about a trainee program. You will be a rental agent and will be expected to push insurance onto the customers at least 3 times each rental even though they have expressed they do not want it. You will deal with a lot of customer complaints from people who want refunds because they were mislead. Expect to be spoon fed lies about promotional opportunities and be strung along. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this opportunity.

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 a decent place to work with a steady environment and meaningful day-to-day responsibilities. Overall, it's not a bad company to be a part of if you are looking for stability and purpose in your tasks.

Cons

The internal culture is highly political, and professional advancement often depends more on favoritism than merit. You frequently have to play corporate games and kiss up to management just to get ahead or be noticed.
