Pros

Good benefits: medical, dental and perks.

Cons

This company is truly a "House Divided" Aerial Managers and reps are treated like Gods while harding working General Rental Managers and Reps are treated like dirt. Time and time again General Rental reps achieve higher rental rates and have a much broader customer base and they are still referred to as second class employees. It truly amazed me how much money I made for that company year in and year out (bonus for 2006, 2007, 2008) and to be blown out in Q1 2009!!! This company rewards those who have lost them money instead of those who have made them money!!! I find it hilarious almost a year later to see how much worse it has gotten here in Detroit! As of this date, the Aerial division, which previously LOST MILLIONS for UR in Michigan, is now in charge! Talk about rewarding incompetency! UR is not a good place to work unless you have been buddies with upper management for many years. You reap what you sew. Potential employees beware!

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.
