Pros

I didn't quite understand what my job would really be when I started working for Hertz. I had been out of work for a while and this was a huge opportunity for me to get going again. I started at the entry level and loved it from the start! I was taught how to become a master at everything and within one year I was promoted three times. It was not much longer when I was promoted to an actual Branch Manager. I am now managing three different locations and supervising several employees. Hertz is always trying to better "me" in every way possible. I have learned how to effectively run these branches and develop my staff. Continuous improvement, training, and development for all employees at every level is proof that Hertz is a company that wants nothing but the best. Cutting edge ideas and programs that leave the competition in the dust doesn't hurt either. I have accomplished more than I ever thought possible!!! Onward and Upward...

Cons

There are times when we have to get down and dirty and clean cars. I've dirtied a few blazers but have become a master at getting stains out!

Pros

No micromagement , You earn incentives when customers forget to fill the gas , also when the car was damaged and they accept to pay , managers are nice , deal with Karen and difficult customers sometimes , rush hours where there is no room for cars but it is worth it

Cons

Fluctuate schedule you might work middle shift today , tomorrow you work early morning shift like 5AM and next day you work closing shift 1 to 9 PM. It is just bad for me because I just experienced personal household problem so I have only one car in the household so I had to leave

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
