Pros

There are ZERO pros to this job even if you can work from home. RUN RUN RUN AWAY FAST! Don't apply here!

Cons

Where shall I begin to explain the cons of this place? First of all, their contact center is in Arizona. And when you take a job with this place, and you live on the east coast, be prepared to work until 1AM and they are tricky in their wording of their interview process. They only hire you as a temp, so good luck on getting any security or benefits. Oh, yeah, their pay? $13 p/hr. You have the potential to make more, yes, if you manage to get any reservation calls. But guess what! Despite being called a "Sales and Reservation" agent, over half the calls you get are customer care calls. So, good luck meeting any kind of sales metrics that they're going to expect out of you. The managers SUCK! They will speak to you with condescending tones, because, frankly, you mean nothing to them. Nobody gives a flying flip about you, your life, or your other obligations that you may have. They say that they have "flexible scheduling" but guess, what, that can't be further from the truth. Your schedule is PERMANENT. You are locked in for a solid 6 months, and nobody, I mean, NOBODY is going to work with you on being flexible with you. Say goodbye to your weekends too! You're required to work them. REQUIRED. Their training schedule is an absolute joke. FIVE hours a day with large classes and they're gonna throw you on the phones day 2 of training. It is literally sink or swim.

Pros

Good for gaining quick customer service experience, and the customer-facing side of the job keeps you busy.

Cons

Zero Work-Life Balance: Your personal life is virtually non-existent here. Between working incredibly long hours without overtime pay and the constant pressure to be connected, you can never truly clock out. Unrealistic Availability Expectations: The owner (Joe) requires your personal phone number to be available to anyone, at any time. You are expected to answer work calls during your off-hours, completely erasing the boundary between work and home. Lack of Management Support: U-Haul focuses entirely on the customer at the absolute expense of the employee. Management routinely allows customers to curse at and verbally abuse frontline associates without ever stepping in or backing up their staff. Flawed Technology: The internal booking and rental systems crash on a weekly basis. This leaves associates stranded, forced to repeatedly apologize to frustrated customers because the tech simply doesn't work. Poor Communication: Corporate-level communication is completely dysfunctional, making it incredibly difficult to get answers or support when things go wrong on the floor.
