Pros

Few of their management team are knowledgeable and will teach you some good sales related skills.

Cons

- They say that it's a 6 month program to promote you to an OSR, but they never do. They keep on adding new SDP employees every month, because most people are above 6 months in program and they are exhausted. So either they leave the job or there is a very few chance you are actually promoted to an OSR. - You just keep on Cold calling around 50 calls all day and you learn nothing and they expect you to get a lot of deals. - Some of the meetings are required to attend, which is not beneficial at all. -

Pros

For the most part, United Rentals is a great company to work for. They care about their employees & promote growth from within.

Cons

The RELIABLE ONSITE SERVICES division is a total and complete DISGRACE to United Rentals name due to the Management team. Over worked and under-paid. Drivers should never come close to exceeding their DOT hours. Service trucks continuously break down, sometimes for weeks at a time. Promises are made by management but are not carried out. The way routes are dispatched is completely not efficient nor achievable. Employee's are moved in to the wrong positions.
