United Rentals reviews

In some districts advancement depends on favoritism and kowtowing over ability and experience. This company is losing a lot of talented employees to their competition because of poor management. Policies are selectivly enforced. Safety is preached but often overlooked when it conflicts with profitability or expediance.

Most of the management all the way up to regional level is unaware what it really takes to grow market share in this very competitive industry. Very subpar equipment compared to most of the competitors. There is a good old boy culture that doesn't realize or understand the intelligence and needs of the current customer base. Very shady hiring and firing practices. They will hire your replacement before you know your employment is terminated. United is infested with people that produce no results and do very little on a daily basis but are still employed because they were hired when the money flowing in the door and they were able to take credit for the major economic growth. The system of general rental and aerial divisions servicing the same projects and customers is a complete mess. If you work for general rental, the aerial division IS your competitor regardless of what management tells you. The branches are hurting for fleet and are severely understaffed.
