Laid off within the year!

Accelerated operations leadership program or amdp

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Rotate through program and meet many people in different divisions. Also company car privleges (meaning you can take a different dirty car home every night). Salary is pretty good for car rental and you will be making much more than managers who have been there for 15+ years which is nice, but keep that quiet and read on!

Cons

The position is known both as the Accelerated Operations Leadership Program and Advanced Management Development Program and it has zero structure. As a participant I rotated through departments including customer service and operations at the airport, off-airport, and as support at the corporate office. Senior managers had really no idea what to do with me or any respect for my skills. I learned a lot by jumping in and doing. After almost reaching the one year mark I was laid off unexpectedly. HR made it very clear that it was simply a financial decision and not to take it personally. I was told that this training program was discretionary and my salary had to go. Overall I believe that I was a victim of having a relatively high salary for car rental and being in a training role. Now I feel like I did all that work for nothing and have a short term stain on my resume. Be aware that if you take this job a layoff could happen if there is a rough quarter or the region wants to trim a quick 65K off the books.

Don't go there if you can't sell

Pros

- benefits are decent -driving around in a different cars

Cons

The only thing that makes me happy after two years with Hertz is I will be leaving soon. Can't stand it anymore. Wash cars in your professional clothes? no, thank you! Working from 7:30 until 6? no, thank you! Being pushy trying to sell stuff only to keep your job? Go find somebody else. The new employees who were hired 5-6 months ago already gone! They fired lots of people, good people, who knew their job just because they didn't meet their 'minimum sales standarts". Gross. I agree with every bad review below. I have to say about bodyshops the emploees are working with. They will be discriminating you, they humiliate you! But even if you tell HR about your concerns all they say will be "this is the biggest account in the area, we have to provide great customer service to their clients" That's it. Done

They do not care about their employees

Assistant branch manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get to drive new cars and the work load is light and at the end of the day I was never stressed out. You also get a paycheck, but it ends up barely paying the bills because they never deliver on incentives like rewards from winning local and regional contests, bonuses from your sales are not paid out correctly if you are lucky enough to get them and they promise you monthly bonuses from the revenue that the store brings in but then never give it to you.

Cons

Horrible HR Business partners in the West Central Region Office, they give no support to their employees, even when an employee brings to their attention that they are being discriminated against by the employees at bodyshop that they work with because of their gender. Instead of fixing the problem and dealing with the discrimination they will force you to work under those conditions. When you notify them of your concerns they go from sending you letters commending you on your excellent unparalled performance to giving you a letter saying that they are letting you go based on unfounded acusations. Without even paying them the bonuses they earned in the months prior or giving them the prizes they earned from the contests they won.
