Pros

I've worked at United Rentals a few times over the years in their corporate office. They have been a fair and honest employer for years, and even when their plans required changing in the local staff, they often spoke months ahead of time of the plans. It's disappointing to separate from a company you like but the open honesty about upcoming major changes were refreshing.

Cons

Corporate environment was limited a great deal by the branch environment. Not uncommon but it would have had better interactions from an employee standpoint if they didn't tether policies to match both corporate offices and branch locations.

Pros

Trench Safety devision is the most profitable. It's not rocket science. Regardless of your geographical location every single contractor/prospective customer is similar in the fact that they are on a tight schedule and are wanting a solid service along with superb equipment. URI has that plus some.

Cons

Drivers - Being an ISR requires constant attention towards customers and drivers (aka dispatch). Don't allow the jerk off drivers to affect your mood. I work 50 hours a week. Not much time for weekday activities. Honestly I would rather have a good pay check than 4 extra hours during the week. "Everybody's workingfor the weekend!"
