Business Outlook

Pros

I have many colleagues here that I also consider close friends. Many career growth opportunities.

Cons

While I absolutely love that I have many friends throughout various departments, from my time with Herc, at times it can draw focus to the disconnect between the different company segments. I have tried to bring this to the attention of higher ups and while many are willing to adjust some don’t seem to be bothered by someone without manager in front of their title.

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 Training is non-existent and relies on people's notes and outdated SOPs.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.

Pros

Interesting and growing business. Some of my coworkers are nice

Cons

Unfair remote work policy, rather not one at all. Some are allowed to come in as they please, others have strict attendance guidelines. Many people (including managers) moved away during Covid, and some have even been promoted. Those of us who stayed in SWFL and loyal to the company, have been rewarded with RTO mandates and limited promotional opportunities

Herc Rentals Response

Thank you for your loyalty and your 5 years with Herc Rentals — that means a great deal to us. We hear your concerns about remote work policy consistency, and we understand how important fairness and respect are to team morale. These are values we take seriously, and feedback like yours helps drive continuous improvement. We want every team member to feel valued regardless of where they work. Please reach out to us at careers@hercrentals.com so we can better understand your experience.

Pros

Will make your next job feel amazing

Cons

The worst environment I’ve ever worked in. None of the managers help you, and sure do not develop. They will take all credit for their employees work, and the first to push blame on their teams when their employees didn’t read their minds. Rumors and gossip are prevalent, and managers only know how to manage by using fear, PIPs, and terminations. It’s a revolving door I would advise to run from!
