Pros

Monthly commission. However this is often low

Cons

Almost everything about the job is bad honestly. The pay was what kept me going for so long. If you put any sort of value on your home life, and your health don’t work here. In my 4 years at Hertz not only was I asked to work 7 days a week almost every week, but management also acts like it’s no big deal. What it comes down to is management doesn’t want to work overtime. If you ever run into something you need help with, your manager will always leave you high and dry. I wouldn’t feel wrong saying that working this job is a risk to your life either. In my 4 years with Hertz I was assaulted atleast 5x I can remember, and eventually I had to file for a restraining order against an old client due to harassment. Nothing was ever done about that. The airport police won’t even help you when you’re in trouble. Imagine how it feels being knocked out cold by someone, calling the cops, then the cops smile and laugh with the person that assaulted you, then your boss shows up claiming to be at your defense when they aren’t. I’ve never in my life seen such carelessness from a company

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.
