Pros

*Pay is pretty decent for a first job out of college. I am a manager and I make mid 40's/year PLUS I get a car to drive and free gas. *I'm not stuck in a cubicle all day! I love being able to get out of the office multiple times throughout the day. Its almost like taking a break everytime I have to go somewhere because I can just relax and listen to music * My Coworkers are great! We are a happy little family

Cons

* UPPER MANAGEMENT! uggh... Upper management at Hertz is a bunch of stereotypical corporate a**holes. (MOST...there are a couple good ones but they are few and far between) *Customers! I have worked at several retail jobs but never in my life have I met people like the customers at Hertz. They are horrible and rude and whiney! You have to be able to stay professional and positive when dealing with some pretty ridiculous situations.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

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.
