Pros

Hertz has been rated one of the worst employers in the nation, and after working there for a year I experienced first hand why that is. Commission is nothing to write home about, but can be decent depending on the location and city you work in.

Cons

Long Hours (I worked 70+ hrs a week) with poor hourly pay and commission grades. If you work at a location that makes decent up sales and has a consistent line of clientele (insurance rentals) commission is not that bad. The dress code is business professional ( slacks, dress shoes, button down shift and tie) and they have you cleaning the cars which ends up messing up your professional attire. I could understand wearing slacks and a polo, but not a button up shirt thats going to get ruined in no time. Worst retail/management job I have ever had in my professional career.

Pros

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 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.
