Pros
Exposure to high-end clientele. Opportunity to drive interesting vehicles. You will quickly learn what poor leadership and culture look like. Exposure to what not to replicate in management or operations.
Cons
Working at Go Rentals was easily the worst professional experience I’ve had. What appears externally as a luxury, concierge-level brand is, internally, a company struggling with leadership, culture, and direction. This feels like the shell of what may have once been a strong company. Since the leadership transition, there has been a noticeable decline in both operations and morale. Revenue has dropped significantly, and even long-standing partners have begun exploring alternative rental providers. The core issue is leadership. There is a consistent lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic leadership capability. I regularly observed leadership gossiping about team members, creating division instead of cohesion. Communication from management was often demeaning rather than constructive, and in many cases leadership appeared absent or disengaged entirely. Upper management feels out of touch with day-to-day operations, while simultaneously making unreasonable demands without providing the tools or support to meet them. There is little understanding of their own systems and processes, which leads to self-created issues that are then blamed on frontline staff. Compensation is extremely poor for the level of expectation, and when this was raised, it was met with resistance rather than any genuine effort to improve conditions. The culture is, without exaggeration, the worst I’ve experienced in my career. I’ve seen multiple instances that raised serious concerns about professionalism and employee treatment, including situations where management decisions were later walked back without accountability. I’ve also heard of entire teams at other locations walking out due to poor leadership. There were also ongoing concerns around workplace standards and safety that did not appear to be taken seriously. Overall, in nearly a decade of working, I have never seen a company decline this quickly due to leadership. I would strongly advise anyone considering a role here to look elsewhere.
