Pros

Depending on the area, working at United Rentals can be very fast paced and profitable. If you are in an area with a growing economy, there will always be people and companies needing equipment for construction. You are able to get experience in a wide area of fields, including purchasing, inventory management, and logistics.

Cons

United Rentals seems strangely averse to investing in decent technology. Proprietary application used for 100% of work activities is deeply powerful, but cumbersome, out of date, and poorly maintained. Inside Sales Reps have access to a quarterly bonus program, but have relatively limited ability to actually affect payout as total amount is tied to both overall location performance as well as district performance.

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
