Pros

Still considered best in class car rental company in the world, though a lot of its former prestige is gone.

Cons

For upper mgmt, the money is in the bonuses, not salary, so when you consistently beat your business plan and have them canceled company wide due to "economic pressures" and miss out on, say, $30K+ in one year, it puts a damper on your spirits. Canceling merit bonuses hurts only the top performers, while your counterparts who work less and produce less go on their merry way.

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.
