Pros

Largest rental equipment supplier in the world, competitive salary, company vehicle.

Cons

Favoritism, management is clueless as to what is going on at the local level. Incompetent management. Micro managers. Do not like outsiders (i.e. only like people hired on through them, not employees brought on through buyouts)

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
