Pros

1. Wide parking spaces. 2. If you want to work for a company that gets nowhere and accomplishes nothing than this is it. After working there for several years I was laid off just over 2 years ago. Since then the company has focused on buying out other entities to create the illusion for stock holders that they are successful. There has been tremendous turnover because the new leadership wants to bring in their own people and the people that have been loyal for decades are getting the shaft and treated like dirt.

Cons

Having a career is limited due to lack of solid leadership. Working there has become a revolving door here employees are constantly looking over their shoulders. Senior leadership cannot be trusted. Those that do move up have little if any skills but instead look and play the part

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.
