      Pros

      Lifelong friends made from coworkers and Customers. You have the opportunity to get the HERC equipment out there on tons of different jobsites that normally just have the competition. We definitely were the underdog when I started. We were becoming a household when I left.

      Cons

      I never had the problem with meeting and exceeding my goals that were required of me daily, weekly or monthly. The "micromanaging leash" I was on was suffocating to say the least. The chance for me to grow from an employees point of view was completely limited because of my direct boss. No need in bashing anybody directly. I only wish the utmost best for my colleagues and friends.

      Pros

      Decent salary, so-so benefits. CEO appears to care. 'Unlimited potential' IF you make it into the right clique. Much better company than when it was Hertz. I've worked for far worse at a lesser salary.

      Cons

      Surrounded by morons at every level. Many of the rank and file employees are lost in their own heads. Many new hired mechanics have never so much as worked on a bicycle let alone a machine that lifts people and equipment up to 185 feet in the air. Manufacturer training IS available but rarely is anyone approved to attend $$. Unrealistic expectations of "performance". If you're in the clique it doesn't matter. Otherwise it's just a tool to get rid people they don't like. Upper management is waaay out of touch with the behind the scenes of operations. They have no clue how a maintenance operation works. They think you can fix anything in 15 minutes without support or parts on hand. Too much emphasis on 'processes' that just don't work everywhere in any situation. "Follow the Operating Model". Yeah, right. Nepotism and the buddy system run rampant. Typical corporate operation.
