Business outlook
Pros
Cheap car hire. People you work with.
Cons
Constant senior management changes pulling in opposite directions. US Avis took over Avis EMEA in 2001/12. All technical workforce now outsourced to India & Hungary. Skeleton crew left in the Most country HQ's. Practically nobody technical left in Europe. Avis used to trade on it's higher level of customer service, now it's purely on price. Redundancy used to be an annual thing, but the terms were good. Since the US took over it's more than annual and the terms get worse each time. General consensus is that it will soon be statutory redundancy terms. What more can you expect from owners to which you are now just another resource, not a person.
