it depends on where you're located but there' isn't much room for advancement, even if you're flexible. they would rather hire outside than within.

Favorite Job! Laid-off in 2009

Pros

United Rentals was my favorite job. Our manager Hillary was amazing and as a team we all worked together to meet our monthly goals and if one was falling behind everyone would help as a team should (including our manager). She not only rewarded us for our hard work, the whole department felt like family and it was a sad day when we all heard the news in regards to the fate of our department.

Cons

The whole department was let go without a warning.

Pros

deep pockets and good at dangling a carrot in front of somebody when they recruit them.

Cons

MANY dotted lines. Too many Chiefs: not enough Indians. Too Political. Entirely too much bureaucracy!! Keep people not qualified. No training....no management; DC are slick talking do nothing managers who run all over trying to justify their position. Don't be deceived by this big corporation that doesn't give a rat about you...keep looking or stay where you're at! United Rentals ruined me!! Recruited me, caused my former employer to give me an ultimatum to go or stay then threw me to the wolves with NO training, consolidated regions, demoted managers then let me go with some lame excuse to make room for somebody who had been demoted. They're full of games and could careless about a person. Tumultuous environment that I'm certain it's better that I'm not with them! Just wish they had never contacted me and caused to the leave a perfectly good job!!!!!!! They almost destroyed my family's livelihood!! and they could care less!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T WORK FOR THEM!! BE WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!
