Pros

you get a lot of over time there is opportunity to move up you don't have to work a ton of weekends the work is always changing you learn how to handle high pressure stressful situations you learn how to run a successful business if you can do this job you can do any management job

Cons

you never know when you are going to get off you are always going to be wondering if you have cars even though it usually works out someone is always mad at you for something management always thinks the sky is falling and hertz is going to be broke always short staffed and nobody wants the job the pay is poor, and as you get promoted the pay still sucks there really isn't a training program, you just have to show up and figure it out

Pros

No micromagement , You earn incentives when customers forget to fill the gas , also when the car was damaged and they accept to pay , managers are nice , deal with Karen and difficult customers sometimes , rush hours where there is no room for cars but it is worth it

Cons

Fluctuate schedule you might work middle shift today , tomorrow you work early morning shift like 5AM and next day you work closing shift 1 to 9 PM. It is just bad for me because I just experienced personal household problem so I have only one car in the household so I had to leave

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.
