Pros

Good training programs and initiatives. Pay for performance compensation rewards those that work hard.

Cons

Since being sold by Ford, the company has gone downhill. If you want to blame the economy just at Enterprise which seems to be doing fine. Or look at Hertz Equipment Rental. Ten years ago, it was the largest equipment rental company in the United States. Is it third or fourth down the list now? The senior management teams' experience with manufacturing has not translated well to dealing with the customer service make it or break it environment that Hertz competes in.

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 a decent place to work with a steady environment and meaningful day-to-day responsibilities. Overall, it's not a bad company to be a part of if you are looking for stability and purpose in your tasks.

Cons

The internal culture is highly political, and professional advancement often depends more on favoritism than merit. You frequently have to play corporate games and kiss up to management just to get ahead or be noticed.
