Great company - in "start up" mode

Pros

The culture is great and the people are hard working and driven. Everyone wants to get the company fully operational and off the ground, and it's going to take a collaborative effort to do it. Great thing is, everyone is on board. Employees have the opportunity to build a legacy in each role. It's an amazing time to be in sales, management, recruiting or anything in the field at Herc Rentals.

Cons

We have strong competition, and they aren't going away. But....what company doesn't have competition? There is a massive opportunity to get better and start beating the competition.

Pros

I had a great team, and a couple of my fellow managers were decent people. Not much outside of that.

Cons

Expectations were not always clear and your accomplishments were not enough. This company is really full of themselves - Just the usual corporate BS! Superiors are micromanaging and do not welcome new ideas (or outsiders). If you question anything, they'll treat you like you're a problem! Yet, they want you to waste time fixing things that aren't broken. If your peers don't like your answer or solution, they'll immediately go to your boss's boss to complain and let it trickle down. Teamwork? They never heard of it! Discuss an issue openly - why bother? It's more efficient to backstab instead! Training is non-existent and relies on people's notes and outdated SOPs. This is a national company, and they don't even have a formal training department?! Benefits were awful and expensive. I've worked for smaller companies that offered better health plans, and multiple carriers. There are reasons why they aren't #1 in their industry.
