Pros

There are absolutely no pros to working here

Cons

The worst place I’ve ever worked. Management is completely disengaged and cares nothing about making the business run smooth, and sure not about employee satisfaction. The Director is the most condescending person I’ve ever met in my life, and casts a dark shadow over the entire department. Nothing is done about it. Job security? You won’t have that here. It’s like Survivor, every week someone else gets voted off. Avoid this place like the plague

Great work environment.

Service desk analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
