Pros

Employees are not delusional about "being a family" like some toxic work environments are and they're polite with each other. Lots of promoting from within. I've been in some pretty nasty work environments. Herc is not one of them. Great place to work. Lots of people who all want to work with the same goal in mind. Management is super receptive to feedback. Overall a positive experience.

Cons

Only con I would say is the resistance to remote work for more employees. Lots of positions that can be worked remote but management naturally resists that in every corporation because of some bad faith actors ruining it for everyone. I say let people work remote and those who are needing discipline can always get their remote status revoked. No need to punish the many for the actions of a few. Just a small con though as some people NEED to work in the office because of their personalities or simply because their work demands it.

Pros

I had a great team, and a couple of my fellow managers were decent people. Not much outside of that.

Cons

Expectations were not always clear and your accomplishments were not enough. This company is really full of themselves - Just the usual corporate BS! Superiors are micromanaging and do not welcome new ideas (or outsiders). If you question anything, they'll treat you like you're a problem! Yet, they want you to waste time fixing things that aren't broken. If your peers don't like your answer or solution, they'll immediately go to your boss's boss to complain and let it trickle down. Teamwork? They never heard of it! Discuss an issue openly - why bother? It's more efficient to backstab instead! Training is non-existent and relies on people's notes and outdated SOPs. This is a national company, and they don't even have a formal training department?! Benefits were awful and expensive. I've worked for smaller companies that offered better health plans, and multiple carriers. There are reasons why they aren't #1 in their industry.
