Pros

Good "last resort" company to work for -- you either don't do much or you are completely understaffed.

Cons

expected 55 hour work week. mediocre pay. little to no direction or communication provided. More jobs are planning on being cut in 2009 - little to no job security. Corporate sales is unmotivated or unwilling to help (possibly because they fear they will be downsized soon). Numbers control the hertz world with no rationale behind them. As a college grad, you are expected to wash cars in a shirt and tie - making poor pay... gets to a mediocre level as you advance.

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 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.
