Pros

Easy sales pitch. Inbound calls

Cons

If you take an inbound call, and it has to be transferred to another internal department for example commercial, City service, Hawaii, customer service, or outbound your conversion numbers take a hit. Lower conversion numbers disqualify you from bonus opportunities. Whenever the service department gets backed up sometimes those calls get transferred over to the sales department. So you're getting penalized by the company by not being able to convert a call to a sale even though they know that call was intended for the service department. It's a system geared to keep people from hitting bonus. They also do not provide any accommodations for neurodiverse workers. Furthermore, if a sales rep takes a service call, and the client tells you they are just looking to modify their preexisting booking, some cut throat reps will cancel the preexisting booking, abd and rebook an entirely new order, they change the email address on the old order so the client never sees the cancellation of the old order, just the new order, instead of just editing the preexisting order. The rep who originally booked the order never gets paid on the order.

Pros

Great before the awful Hertz regime came in

Cons

New management has brought the rental car company mindset and customer service skill in. Offshore call centers (which the ceo is on the board of) only compound the problems. Company is failing and not meeting goals or expectations

Awful Leadership

Pros

If you’re lucky you’ll end up on a team with awesome teammates.

Cons

I have never written a bad review for an employer regardless of my experience but this place is awful. No salary negotiations. Raises are negligible. Highly cliquish, worse than a bunch of teenagers - which is unfair to teenagers! No chance for promotion unless you are part of the “popular crowd” regardless of how good your annual review is. Top heavy with Leadership positions. Leadership can’t make up their mind what they want so enriching is done last minute. Replacing full time employees with contractors. Talk about values and culture but don’t back it up.
