Pros

Great coworkers and good pay. Good running trucks. Good work schedule.

Cons

The benefits are outright ridiculous considering a company this size. Forced to use vacation days when sick. There's no accountability for the constant mistakes made in the ordering process and the pass the buck right on down to the delivery driver to correct. Some info is deliberately omitted to force drivers to call customers. management tells you there's nothing that can be done to correct the problems. There's a point system for employee incidents where it seems more often than not, the employee is found at fault and punished for simple injuries. Employees have even been ridiculed and talked down to in this process. The whole system seems to be designed to give them reason to fire employees no matter how valuable they are to their department for something as simple as a sprained ankle.

Pros

You get to leave and go home at the end of the day. Easy to work for people with an IQ in the single digits.

Cons

Greedy, dishonest employees and crooked management. Benefits are a joke. All upper management starting with Don Ahern down to shop foremen are all incompetent at best. They will work you to death and just ask for more. No regard for employees or their welfare unless your job title ends in manager. They will tell you whatever you want to hear just to shut you up temporarily until they find a way to stab you in the back. Have personally seen field mechanics written up or fired because of mistakes made by the shop techs or just due to their equipment being mediocre quality at best to begin with "

Ahern Rentals - Where your career goes to die

Pros

At this point in time, with the amount of experience I have had with this company, none immediately come to mind.

Cons

Unless you're buddy-buddy with upper management you'll go nowhere. Nepotism is standard practice. The HR handbook you receive is only to be used against you and never to your benefit as an employee. Benefits are a dismal. There is NO PTO ( unless you're salary and then you get paid whether you're there or not) no sick leave of any kind. Morale is in the tank and management ignores it. Yearly reviews as outlined in the employee handbook? No, they don't follow their own guidelines. Vacation pay for hourly employees occurs on your date of hire every year. Why? They know you won't be able to hold onto it and, therefor, can't take a vacation. Work / Life Balance? Only if your work IS your life. Nothing has changed in the 5+ years I've been there. They could do so much better, but simply don't seem interested.
