Ok place to work -driver/mechanic

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are good, they have a decent 401k match and decent health insurance is ok but expensive. Sick time is paid out if not used.

Cons

Expected to work 16 plus hour days up to 7 days a week. Always on call 24/7 even if its not your weekend. Management doesn't follow d.o.t hours of service laws, no matter how hard you work its always a nag fest.

An Okay Stepping Stone

Territory sales representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company truck. M-F. Good vacation/sick/personal time allowances. Work with diverse range of industries. Gain lots of diverse experience due to lack of support. Besides management, fellow employees were hard working and honest people. Experience looks good on a resume. Entrusted with lots of responsibilities. Wear many caps.

Cons

Experiences can vary greatly based on region and branch manager. Company is as corporate as corporate can get. Old school philosophy based on pushing sales and metrics rather than focusing on customer service and gaining a competitive advantage. Sales reps have little freedom to make own deals/pricing and the internal support is pathetic. Manager was completely inept. Very cut throat with management constantly being axed for seemingly no reason. High turnover and very little invested in employees. In the midwest market Herc is hardly a player except in large population hubs where a select few sales reps have lucrative territories. Fall far behind regional companies such as Cat. High stress with lots of pressure and very little work/life balance. Expect to work 10 hour days at minimum. Always on call.
