Pros

United Rentals wants 50% female leadership according to HR, and the benefits package is great.

Cons

The males at most of the branches will prevent females from remaining at United Rentals through doing everything possible to ensure they are under-trained, unsupported, not followed, and undermine them. Men frequently say "I DO NOT WANT A WOMAN TELLING ME WHAT TO DO" at locations where a female is in leadership, and they have and will do everything possible to sabotage the female. Upper management won't assist female leaders either and they live up to punishing females that report harassment to them. The men however are not reprimanded because all of this is "documentation of harassment". When United Rentals the corporation gets serious about 50% female leadership they will have to develop a REAL learning program that addresses every sort of discrimination and how it relates to Federal laws that apply to each employee, and also apply "warnings" and "write-ups" for those employees that cross the line. Punishing females because they report that their male co-workers are harassing them or jeopardizing their place at United Rentals is wrong. I was punished for telling co-workers to stop harassing me. Women in HR are not supportive in issues of harassment which demonstrates that they are not supportive of assisting women in leadership. White-washing issues is the same thing as telling someone with an injury that it didn't happen at all and just walking past without assisting. HR shouldn't be getting Gold Stars for promoting the condoning of hardships that United Rentals women go through that are caused by men that want to rid United Rentals of female employees.

As for training, while United Rentals expects employees for certain positions to possess applicable skill sets upon being hired, it does provide employees with necessary training and provides regular training relating to its employment policies, including its policies against gender harassment and discrimination and retaliation. Additionally, United Rentals investigates employee claims of violations of its discrimination, harassment and retaliation policies. United Rentals does not agree with this review and is committed to providing, and does provide, equal employment opportunities.

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
