Pros

good benefits , some good regions and people to work with. That's it.

Cons

It really depends on what region you are working in and what store you are working out of. The proficiency of the local store and district and management can vary greatly. I would not recommend the Las Cruces/Albuquerque store/ district at all. Has Bad reputation in rental business, there are reasons why. Too much cronyism, no people management skill from store/district managers. Watch your numbers on rental revenue, other sales people have no problem with "borrowing" your numbers. local management says nothing, I guess it goes on all the time. HR is NOT there to help you, they will close ranks, waste of time to talk with them. No real sense of team at all. Regional, upper management disconnected from store/district level. Doesn't want to know issues or just too concerned with their paycheck to care, not sure which but result is still the same.

Good for a job, not a career

Pros

free lunch Fridays, uniform service, flexible hours, pretty good people for the most part, pretty lax atmosphere most of the time. A few solid guys in the shop.

Cons

One or two crappy employees with horrible work ethics. Sometimes too much pressure to get equipment out and correct repairs are not made. Under trained, unskilled, under tooled "mechanics". At the end of the day, the only thing that matters are the phony numbers and making the shareholders more cash.
