Pros

Company with excellent potential, some good long serving employees

Cons

Unfortunately the potential is getting destroyed with some of the wrong decisions of the SMT. Agree that problems started during the period of last CEO, however as Employees a number of us feel there was lot of activity and acquisitions then. Let alone that we did not have the IT capacity to do that. But now the Management is only interested in outsourcing functions out to IBM and Accenture. They do not even wait to see how one outsourced function works before deciding to outsource the next function. SMT are interested only in money saving and not quality. This has been the problem with Hertz all this while. The SMT for a period make decisions to suit them, they leave. The next set of SMT then make their decisions which do not benefit the company in the long run. Hence the future of the company and its well known culture is down the drains unfortunately.

Pros

No micromagement , You earn incentives when customers forget to fill the gas , also when the car was damaged and they accept to pay , managers are nice , deal with Karen and difficult customers sometimes , rush hours where there is no room for cars but it is worth it

Cons

Fluctuate schedule you might work middle shift today , tomorrow you work early morning shift like 5AM and next day you work closing shift 1 to 9 PM. It is just bad for me because I just experienced personal household problem so I have only one car in the household so I had to leave

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
