United Rentals reviews

No common sense or leadership

Half of the contry experienced Seasonal Lay-offs. Lay-offs were announced on a moments notice leaving employees with no time to prepare. The lack of contact from senior management left the employees thinking that the corporate office was acting under the "ivory tower" attitude. Even with the 'extrinsive motivation' fed by the pay and benefits offered by the company, the feeling of expendiblity and fear loomed in the atmosphere hindering the growth of the more productive 'intrinsic motivation' such as inner satisfaction or the genuine desire to perform the tasks. 'An employee is only as good as last month's numbers.' Time is not provided to properly maintain the equipment as should be provided.
