Pros

We get to meet different people, and catch 22 - LEARN TO EXPERIENCE STRESS FIRST HAND.

Cons

How do you expect Managers/MTs to make or increase their sales numbers if; A – They spend a lot of time going to pick up or return customers? B – They spend a lot of time picking vehicles from customers or taking them to them? C – They spend a lot of time going to pick up vehicles from distribution points or returning them there? D – They spend a lot of time cleaning vehicles? If only the big wigs could lend a hand and help the employees at the bottom of the chain get up, Hertz as a company could easily grow faster and make more profit. This cannot be done, however, when you tie one hand of your employee behind his or her back.

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.
