Pros

Starting salary was great, company car, and initially a great management staff. Note I said initially.

Cons

Always looming lay-offs. No communication on any initiatives. Wavering directions from upper management. I was constantly hearing rumors of lay-offs from my first days there and after a while you can't concentrate on anything but figuring out when you were going to get the axe. There was always the potential to fix things, but people are always afraid to pull the trigger on an idea in fear of job loss.

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's a job in a bad economy. Decent vacation time but no money to go anywhere.

Cons

Favoritism, nepotism. We used to get profit sharing now it goes wherever it goes. New commission structure is bad.Dollar thrifty and hertz are all one yet hertz does all dollars work while they make the money and close whenever they want. Customers are always aggressive and rude.sick time is unrealistic. If you have any condition you have to get fmla and the company they use always refuse it. ,yet somehow the people that aren't sick are always on fmla.
