Pros

Good "last resort" company to work for -- you either don't do much or you are completely understaffed.

Cons

expected 55 hour work week. mediocre pay. little to no direction or communication provided. More jobs are planning on being cut in 2009 - little to no job security. Corporate sales is unmotivated or unwilling to help (possibly because they fear they will be downsized soon). Numbers control the hertz world with no rationale behind them. As a college grad, you are expected to wash cars in a shirt and tie - making poor pay... gets to a mediocre level as you advance.

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.
