Herc Rentals Response

Thank you for your five-star review! Our ProSales Associate training, along with the Black Gold Academy, is a top-tier program refined over many years to guarantee its effectiveness. It seems you successfully built transferrable skills and made the most of the training. Like any fast-paced job, branch locations can get busy assisting customers and juggling multiple tasks, but we promote saying “yes” at every possible opportunity.
