Pros

The pay was decent for a starting job. Having bonuses was always a plus and being paid every week was wonderful! Having the opportunity to drive so many cars was very nice as well. Plus, as a MIC, it looked good on my resume and I helped to run the store. My direct store manager (and all the others in the area) were wonderful!

Cons

Most of corporate was a joke. From the simpering HR people that I dealt with, to the regional management, it was really bad. Hertz went from the fastest growing rental car company in my area, to closing down all but two stores!

A high investment in learning opportunities and engagement with customers.

Suffers from downsides of all other rental companies. Overbooking, understaffing.

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.
