      Pros

      It is fast-paced, challenging and keeps you on your toes. Always learning new things each and every day. A wonderful team to be a part of.

      Cons

      Some of the management is difficult to work for. Some have a very "corporate mindset" and will only give you attention should you worship the ground they walk on.

      Pros

      Great management of "image and story" to Wall Street since RSC merger. Stock has outperformed. Debt is dropping, share buy back was a stellar move, growth is controlled and management has greatly improved financial discipline. $100/ share by 2015!

      Cons

      1970's Management approach at local, district and region levels. Reactive field management style won't change - not sure that it should. Questionable ethics still haunt URI at high levels, but Wall Street has much higher tolerance for ethical scandals compared to 1990s.

      Pros

      Good pay In my office, great managers who care about you and what you do. No weekends

      Cons

      Since the acquisition with RSC, United Rentals has taken on their policies and their people. Upper management are pushing out the United Rentals people and replacing with RSC people. "Too many chief's, not enough indians". Not enough people to actually do the job. hiring freeze. micromanagement Upper management does not listen to the people that actually work.
