Pros

Overtime pay on holidays is the only pro I can think of.

Cons

Where do I start? At the Corpus Christi location, we were told to lie and tell customers we were out of the type of car they booked and force customers into paying for upgrades. We had ridiculous policies around the use of debit cards, which would sometimes lead to customers being physically violent towards us. The system would present a different charge at the counter than what the customer was quoted online and there was no way to fix it due to the dated software Hertz uses. They pressure you to make sales but give you no other sales training other than the afore-mentioned lying to customers. I've been in sales for 15 years and asked so many times how to overcome certain objections and all my GM had to say was "Just say you strongly recommend they buy coverage" The hours are ungodly. I agreed to a 3pm-11pm shift but often ended up staying until after 1am due to flight delays. They don't pay you nearly enough for the stress, drama, and trauma

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 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.
