Pros
Good people to work with, and I was part of a good team
Cons
A rent a car company is not easy to run, it requires high borrowing from banks, increasing cost of maintenance and fleet cost, high airport fees, a variety of competitors for corporate accounts, and savvy tech brokers with high fees for leisure customers. All of these combined with several older VP’s with little idea of how technology has evolved, created Hertz Europe, a big logistics enterprise that runs at negative margins and underperforming shares which create pressure to invest even less, constantly impacting jobs in operations, but never the high salaries and expensive travel of senior management. I worked for Hertz Europe for many years, and from Michele (The guy who once said, believe it or not, I am not God) to Tracy (who never bothered leaving her office), this was always a poorly run company full of red tape, politics, secrecy, and overall, a lack of the true leadership needed for a company with these type of challenges
