Pros

Not much micromanagement from Branch level.

Cons

You are just a replaceable number. No one really cares. Can be there 15 days or 15 years, you get paid the same. The base pay is insultingly low. Upper Management is clueless and trickles down aggression. They also treat the OSRs like they have been in sales for 5 minutes.

Pros

United Rentals prioritizes a safe workplace and a safe culture all across the board. Most employees treat you like family and everyone has always been very personable with one another. There are opportunities for growth if you're hungry for it. There are opportunities for travel. Very great place to work for if you're looking to work with an engaging team. Fast paced settings for those looking for a challenge.

Cons

Leadership quality varies from branch to branch. You may work for a great manager at one place, but get a poor manager if you transfer to a different location. All training is 'Trial by fire', so don't expect any sort of 'structured' form of training unless you're taking a certification course like forklift training or something similar if you're applying with 0 experience in the rental industry.
