Pros

Herc is a good company on its way to being a great company. The company has started investing in people again and our culture is starting to change. Now is the perfect time to join Team Herc!

Cons

Need more women in leadership roles.

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.
