Pros

Good benefits, nice lunch cafe.

Cons

There are too many Chiefs, not enough braves, way to many meetings that waste time, being barked at by some high strung bosses who set unrealistic goals, customers are confused because the rules keep changing every other day on payment schedules, sales people make up the rules in order to make a sale, and then you have to pick up the pieces when they can't deliver on promises. If you enjoy being micro-managed and having your phone calls recorded, & managers listening in and being picked apart, this might just be the perfect gig for you! Some managers will smile in your face and then stab you in the back later. Please be Aware!

Pros

Herc is a company that works very hard to do right by its employees. Pay is honest, and there are opportunities to succeed if you work hard! I have worked for hip companies and more traditional but large corporate companies for nearly 30 years. This is the best place I have ever worked for, and I consider my co-worker's family. Herc also works hard to support our military and tries hard to get women in tech! If you are a female and you want to feel welcomed, empowered, and truly respected, then this is the place for you. EVERYONE is treated fairly, and it is part of our culture here at Herc.

Cons

Many people outside of South West Florida have never heard of Herc. Many people are reluctant to apply for a position at a company they barely know. I can assure you that if someone takes the time to know more about this amazing company, recruiting would not have to work so hard!
