Pros

Coworkers are really cool. Under new management since I left. Really good benefits. Lots of time off, no weekends.

Cons

Stressful at times. Some people do not know what they are talking about and shouldn't be in the positions that they are. Sometimes hard to get help with tasks.

Pros

I worked in the ProSolutions division, which is generator sets, heat, air conditioning equipment. Can be some interesting customers and challenging worksites. Jobsites can be construction sites, office buildings, factories, movie shoots, all kinds of places, which can really be gratifying when a job is well done and you played a part in making it happen.

Cons

The Company is so profit driven that it is downright dangerous to work here. Management is very adept at creating scapegoats of anyone, anytime something goes wrong. Safety is a facade which is cast aside whenever it becomes inconvenient. Because of the atmosphere, you don't attend many retirement parties at Herc.

Thank you for your honest feedback. We take safety culture very seriously and even wear it on our sleeves every day. I would like to know more about what you have experienced and witnessed so we can address it immediately. I am also disappointed to hear that you have not had the pleasure to work with one of our many 25 and 30 year employees. Please email me michael.nastri@hercrentals.com

Pros

1)Coworkers are very nice and met some wonderful people 2) people in IT and HR are very helpful

Cons

1) pay increases are extremely low, about 1-3% a year 2) management can be nasty and difficult to deal with, no wonder turnover is so high 3) benefits are terrible compared to other large companies 4) not much room for advancement 5) people work in silos 6) don’t expect HR to give you an overview of benefits before you start 7) in the office 5 days a work; even Hertz is hybrid 8) very high turnover, even though not many major employers in the area

Thank you for sharing your experience. You have raised some serious concerns that need to be addressed. We are very competitive with compensation and benefits in our industry, and we are very proud of our very low turnover rate. Our values include “We do what’s right, “We’re in this together, and “We prove ourselves every day.” These words speak to our culture at our core as an organization, contrasting with several of the things you’ve mentioned. I understand that being in the office 5 days a week may not be for everyone. It does, however, help us avoid working in silos If that is not for you, we hope you have found a place that lets you grow your career. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss your time with us further.

Pros

Decent pay starting pay. Good vacation and sick package

Cons

Bad insurance, unpredictable hours daily. Management and upper management are number crunchers. It’s not a trucking company, it’s a rental company that trucks stuff

Pros

Bonuses. No micromanaging if you do your job well. Management is cool including some sales guys.

Cons

Long hours and will get longer if you’d like to move up. Family business you might not get promoted over someone’s cousin/nephew

We appreciate your honest feedback. It seems that you enjoyed the bonus structure of your position and the team you collaborated with in the area. There aren't many dull days at Herc Rentals, but without effective time management, the days can feel long. It’s concerning to hear that you believe nepotism influenced internal mobility at your location. We take your comments seriously and are open to discussing your thoughts.

Pros

Herc has been good to me, helping me live the dream. You know you are valued by management team. The workplace is close to home, don't have to drive far. Dealing with one customer is a good thing. Herc tries to pay what you deserve to be making. Herc has a positive company attitude and strong leadership and strives on customer satisfactions. A place where employees can feel comfortable sharing ideas and feedback. Herc gives support for work-life balance.

Cons

Herc employees at an onsite branch can make more money by working at an offsite location but you have everyone to deal with. at certain locations there is no room for advancements unless you want to move locations.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’m sorry to hear that you feel upper management is unwilling to train and guide members of Team Herc. As a former Talent team member, you know about the extensive training programs that Herc offers at every level, from early career to senior leader. I’m always happy to discuss any concerns you may have noticed. My door has always been, and remains, open to all. michael.nastri@hercrentals.com

Pros

Pay, vacation time, benefits, and thats it

Cons

Hr doesn't care when reports are made about safety and inappropriate behavior. Management from local to regional are the aggressors and sweep everything under the rug. The lazy are rewarded and the hard workers get the worse end of it and eventually let go
