Pros

There are painfully few large corporate job options in Naples, Hertz is now an option. I met some nice people, all of whom have since left Hertz.

Cons

I find the reviews on here curious since every person I know who started when I did has since quit. They mislead you as to what the position truly is including responsibilities, hours, and pay. The director was unprofessional and downright mean on many occasions to the point that I put in a complaint to HR and they basically told me Id have to get HIS approval before I could request a transfer - made no sense. Training was horrific. The position was challenging only to the extent of the IT and being on call 24/7, which they did not disclose during any of my five interviews; in fact they told me opposite. It was mind numbingly boring; nothing Id ever done in my previous positions. I felt horrible for the folks in the field because they are all frustrated to no end because of the turnover, HQ changes/confusion, lack of being heard by HQ, etc. Management spends all their time in meetings or behind closed doors. Don't confine in management. Submitting a T&E or getting supplies is even a pain; there's no support staff. It's literally the very worst, most unprofessional, disorganized company I have ever worked for in my life. I'm only writing this because another friend of mine just left, but everyone is afraid to tell the company why they're leaving. I wish I would have known what it was like before I accepted the job. It was a very disappointing experience.

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.
