Pros

If you enjoy a fast paced, competitive environment, where every day presents new challenges, this is the place. Compensation is fair and bonus opportunities abound, quarterly and annually.

Cons

The industry is experiencing the worst economic conditions in its history as it depends on business and discretionary spending through the travel industry. Yes, this can be said for all business and industry at the present, but fleet expence that continues to rise vs.competitive pricing that doesn't support that expence, can't provide a very favorable outlook for managers and employees. Manpower reductions are the principle way that the company has chosen to offset expence. Long hours and problematic customer service issues will face the location managers, creating a very "reactive" approach to their day. Due to the crisis in the used car market, fleet will age at a pace never seen before resulting in high mileage units that will not meet customer expectations. Bonus calculations are determined by customer satisfaction and profitability metrics, making this a difficult challenge at best.

Pros

It is a decent place to work with a steady environment and meaningful day-to-day responsibilities. Overall, it's not a bad company to be a part of if you are looking for stability and purpose in your tasks.

Cons

The internal culture is highly political, and professional advancement often depends more on favoritism than merit. You frequently have to play corporate games and kiss up to management just to get ahead or be noticed.
