Pros

All politics. If your regional or district manager is your friend, you are all set. Otherwise, good luck.

Cons

Very low moral in sales team No real sales leadership. Just sell used equipment and get new accounts, even if they don't have enough equipment for current customers

Pros

Some great people and most are hardworking. Pay is very competitive for Sales Reps. Many positions for different skill sets.

Cons

Will hire more based on seniority and United experience. Acquisition employees are weeded out quickly in strong United Markets. Sales environment is not team oriented.

Pros

job security, biggest rental company in united states. Great stock. Have made some good moves over the last five years and have put themselves in position to succeed.

Cons

No matter how hard you work as a territory manager your pay will not go up because they are constantly changing territories and commission structure. Management is bad about putting equipment sales in house accounts so they don't have to pay the reps a commission on it.
