Pros

Depending on the area, working at United Rentals can be very fast paced and profitable. If you are in an area with a growing economy, there will always be people and companies needing equipment for construction. You are able to get experience in a wide area of fields, including purchasing, inventory management, and logistics.

Cons

United Rentals seems strangely averse to investing in decent technology. Proprietary application used for 100% of work activities is deeply powerful, but cumbersome, out of date, and poorly maintained. Inside Sales Reps have access to a quarterly bonus program, but have relatively limited ability to actually affect payout as total amount is tied to both overall location performance as well as district performance.

Pros

It's a good job. Room for advancement.

Cons

Unfortunately, in this market (austin) I was originally leading up to become and Outside Sales Rep but they began hiring only good looking women for the job. These women had no rental experience and couldn't tell you the difference between a backhoe and forklift.
