Pros

Although there’s not much positive to say as it relates the corporate culture of the company, at minimum I have developed coping skills that will allow me to function in extreme work environments; in short, Hertz has prepared me for the absolute worst! Also, this employment experience has served as a great resume' builder when applying for other jobs.

Cons

Operating the business with limited to no resources, poorly maintained vehicles, understaffed locations, outdated systems, unreasonable goals, and aggressive customers are the norm within the daily work environment of the typical Hertz location. Also, I am not completely sure as to how new hires are required to possess a college degree to become a “manager trainee” but yet and still many Branch Managers and Area Managers don’t possess these minimum qualifications! The corporate culture of this company is absolutely terrible at the both the branch and corporate levels.

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.
