Pros

At front line levels and up to mid management there are still many good people with a willingness to do the right thing for customers, passion for service and diligent work ethic. Most, however, have left, really want to leave, or are desperately clinging to the hope that things will improve. Company car and free gas is HUGE perk. Company brand overall is well recognized. Benefits, including 401K and pension are strong.

Cons

Super long hours and work that is endless for clients that are often very justifiably upset. NO pay increases, though you can earn two nickels if you double the quota you doubled last year (#pointless) and you really never know if your bonus is accurate since the rules are constantly changing and numbers are being "manually adjusted" (#bendoverandworkharderNOW). Your boss is just as disillusioned since they have taken away all of his/her resources to do a proper job, including having enough cars to rent. Your bosses boss has one solution to every problem which is survive (#fireeveryonearound mesoicantbeblamed) and therefore has no authentic rapport with direct reports. This is NOT a recipe for a happy life or a prosperous company. Its gonna get worse. Stock dropped 9% June 6, 2014. It will be panic and pandemonium for at least another year.

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's a job in a bad economy. Decent vacation time but no money to go anywhere.

Cons

Favoritism, nepotism. We used to get profit sharing now it goes wherever it goes. New commission structure is bad.Dollar thrifty and hertz are all one yet hertz does all dollars work while they make the money and close whenever they want. Customers are always aggressive and rude.sick time is unrealistic. If you have any condition you have to get fmla and the company they use always refuse it. ,yet somehow the people that aren't sick are always on fmla.
