Pros

Decent to good pay Good to great hourly and support staff Weekends off (at area manager level)

Cons

"Do more with less" / blood from a stone Continuous threats from upper management Borderline dishonest or unethical business practices No input from store management on decisions or changes Job slashers Bought a company and promptly disregarded their ideas and leadership "Good ole boys" atmosphere Unprofessional and disrespectful language and tone from Sr leadership on company or region wide calls More conference calls than you can ever imagine Little to no autonomy at Area/general manager level

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.
