Pros

-The people around you are generally good to work with. -Use of company cars is very helpful, especially when traveling. -Hertz employees in other areas take care of you. -If you can make it to a level where you dont have to work goofy days/hours, work is usually decent and you go home happy with the job you have done. -Most others at your level are able to give advice or help out as long as you ask pointed questions.

Cons

-The higher up the chain you go, the more corporate politics and bureaucracy are present. -Do not disagree, or ask your boss to provide the logic behind the choices made. This is not a logical company. -Current culture is "every man for himself." This means do not share information. You are supposed to hope that others fail, otherwise upper management will train their eyes on you. -Upper management currently has the mentality that they need to "move the furniture" in order to make things look new so that when Park Ridge or consultants come in to judge them, they can show how they changed things. It may not be for the better, but as long as the setup is different, the higher ups seem to like it. -Very hard to get straight answers out of supervisors. If you have not worked at Hertz for 25 years, no one really cares about you.

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 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.
