Pros
If you produce results you will keep your job. Good job to have if you like weekends off and don't want any hassle when it is time to request vacation. Set work schedule so planning off work activities is easy. The benefits are decent.
Cons
Most of the management all the way up to regional level is unaware what it really takes to grow market share in this very competitive industry. Very subpar equipment compared to most of the competitors. There is a good old boy culture that doesn't realize or understand the intelligence and needs of the current customer base. Very shady hiring and firing practices. They will hire your replacement before you know your employment is terminated. United is infested with people that produce no results and do very little on a daily basis but are still employed because they were hired when the money flowing in the door and they were able to take credit for the major economic growth. The system of general rental and aerial divisions servicing the same projects and customers is a complete mess. If you work for general rental, the aerial division IS your competitor regardless of what management tells you. The branches are hurting for fleet and are severely understaffed.
