Pros

There are none. You're filled with false hope and empty promises. You're lied to from the first day of employment.

Cons

Everything about the company. You're hired for minimal pay for the amount of work you do. Don't count on the branch manager giving you a hand when you're busy. You're only a number here, you're not valued for your skill or drive. You will be lied to from day one about getting promoted or anything about growing with the company. I've never seen a company that the employees fight so much upon one another. There's nothing good about this company. Run far from it. Hr is an incredible joke. I think their department was hired straight from the homeless shelter.

Pros

The one thing I will say is the people were nice and welcoming.

Cons

I worked at Herc Rentals for about 2 months. The onboarding was a nightmare, I didn't have my equipment for 2 weeks after I started, and the team was non-existent. I found another job with a company that valued my experience and was ready for me to start on day one.
