Pros

Many job responsibilities. Puts your skill set to the test. Great resume builder if your desperate for a stepping stone with set timeline to move on to the next.

Cons

Upper management wants you in their pocket. Hiring yes men/women to do their bidding with imposed delegation. No consideration towards mid level management, coordinator or associates. Member service & senior fleet management is a joke. Environment perpetuates manipulation amongst peers that have agendas of their own. If your of the old "Zipcar regime" you better get in line or get phased out quick. Upper management wants to bring in their own people from previous company's (Starbucks & NY Sport Club). HR department does upper management & Home Offices bidding with little to no concern about the outcome effecting moral.

Pros

Friendly environment, easy to take ownership, encourage to initivates, no "who did that?" question

Cons

Strong separation between contractors and full-time employees. Contractors have limited career growth opportunities, no clear path to permanent employment, and significantly lower compensation compared to equivalent US-based contractors despite similar responsibilities and impact. Working across multiple time zones can also affect work-life balance.
