Pros

As a Branch Manager and higher you get a free car, gas and insurance for your personal use. You can switch the car everyday if you'd like. I do because why not. If you're a minimalist like me the pay is fine. My salary is 42k/year. Managers and above get paid biweekly as opposed to those beneath you who get paid weekly. The scheduling in pretty lax. More lax than any other job I've had. If you want to relocate you can apply to different positions since Hertz is nationwide.

Cons

LONG HOURS! As a branch manager you don't have control over who they hire for your store so you can end up with two lackluster employees (like I have) They want you to constantly grow your store and get more fleet on the road but they won't give you more cars to do so. My location is constantly sold out of cars. If you have children this is not the job for you. If you want your store to be run well you need to be prepared to work way past closing. You're not paid enough for the amount of work expected to do. Customers can be very annoying with their demands. They need back up cameras, lane assist sensors etc and sometimes the vehicles just don't have that. Every once in awhile a customer will get unruly. I've had to call the local police department a couple of times on a customer.

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.
