Pros

Hertz is a great place for a brand new college graduate to begin their professional career, especially if they have no prior professional job experience. It's great that Hertz offers a Manager Trainee program that allows these types of people to get a foot in the door. I was satisfied with the sales training they offer.

Cons

The only downsides is that the hours are long and it's very demanding as far as physical labor. Trainees are required to wash, vacuum, and fill cars up with gas. Overall prepare the vehicles for rental. Which doesn't sound bad, but when you're in a long sleeved shirt and tie having to wash cars in the summer heat it can get pretty nasty. By the end of your shift your clothes will be dirty, and you'll feel pretty gross.

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 a decent place to work with a steady environment and meaningful day-to-day responsibilities. Overall, it's not a bad company to be a part of if you are looking for stability and purpose in your tasks.

Cons

The internal culture is highly political, and professional advancement often depends more on favoritism than merit. You frequently have to play corporate games and kiss up to management just to get ahead or be noticed.
