Pros

Discount Rentals That is all! There is nothing positive about this company aside from the discounts you and your family can receive

Cons

This role is awful. Pay is beyond low starting at 12 and hour with a requirement of associate degree bachelor preferred. The facilities are small and uncomfortable with a desk to employee ratio of 2 to 7 . You work in the cold and snow, you are required to wear business attire but asked to clean cars. Customer service means nothing to them Sales is all they care about. There arent even any eating facilities you have to eat your lunch in a rental car! Scheduling is horrible no weekends off on purpose and you are pretty much required to work 6 days a week. You will be given material to study and take test to end up an assistant manager where you Weill receive a raise to $14 hourly if you make it through all the non sense you will became a branch manager and make about 35-40K a year with no peak vacation, an all call schedule, and a bunch of stress. They reel you in with a promise of company car, but you don't receive a car you drive a rental and if that rental is needed you must give it up to a customer. It's a horrible company to work for and prays on college graduates and HS kids to get over. If you have any real career goals this is not the unprofessional place for you.

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 is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
