Pros

There are really no good reasons.

Cons

First off you don't need a college degree to work a counter at a Hertz location. Second having a degree should mean you get paid accordingly not a dollar more an hour as I was told in my interview. That's laughable really. Commission structure was based on overall interactions with customers not on what you actually sold. I have never worked for a company that factored in all customers you interacted with when calculating your payout. I could understand a payout based on actual sales and then reflect on your sale to customer ratio but that's not how it was. They then took away the commission all together and pay didn't increase very much. The managers that I encountered while working there also were only in their position because they were willing to put up with a pathetic company longer than anyone else. Need to stay up with technology and have managers that are actually trying to better the company and not just skate by until they hit retirement.

Pros

No micromagement , You earn incentives when customers forget to fill the gas , also when the car was damaged and they accept to pay , managers are nice , deal with Karen and difficult customers sometimes , rush hours where there is no room for cars but it is worth it

Cons

Fluctuate schedule you might work middle shift today , tomorrow you work early morning shift like 5AM and next day you work closing shift 1 to 9 PM. It is just bad for me because I just experienced personal household problem so I have only one car in the household so I had to leave

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.
