Pros

-Compensation is very competitive. -Benefits are very competitive -Management from the branch level all the way to the CEO has a great culture built in. -Career Development- Lots of opportunity for growth within the company if you put in the work to earn it. -Work/life balance is really great and I am thankful for that in the sales role that I am in.

Cons

Medical Insurance could be better. If the Rx and medical plan wasn't in the same deductible limits and the plan actually covered more Rx's that would be beneficial. This isn't a deal breaker because they have so many other great benefits that I take advantage of but if I have to list a con, this would be it.

Pros

Unfortunately there are no pros other than compensation to working at Herc Rentals in Tupelo Mississippi.

Cons

Micromanagement from a new manager who's never had a management role or any training Daily harassment from co workers Bullying- constant bullying from management Poor Communication- lack of open transparent communication. Management has a group chat with his buddies within the team. Favoritism- Management would show favoritism to his buddies within the team for promotions, assignments and recognition to higher ups. Lack of Career Development Opportunities - This is most important! As mentioned with favoritism, Management will only promote and recognize his buddies leaving others in the dark. Resistance to change - Management is not open to any ideas from team.
