      Pros

      We work as a team, everyone from service to sales. Our employees are passionate about what we do and we are confident that we will get the job done. If we don’t know how, we will find out how and make it happen. I love our team!

      Cons

      United Rentals likes to change how they do things quite often. Change can be hard, especially if you are set in your ways. However, the change is always for good reason.

      Not for Women

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There really is a lot of potential to make a lot of money. How much you want to make depends on how much work you put in, and what you willing to do to earn business, win the deal, get that 'yes' from the customer.

      Cons

      At my location there was absolutely no teamwork or feeling of camaraderie. Everyone was out to work or protect themselves and as a result the job was many times harder than it should have been. There was also an overwhelming amount of sexism going on at my location. Rarely that I feel respected at my workplace, and because of that I only lasted 15 months

      Pros

      Benefits, job security, a good learning stepping stone.

      Cons

      It feels wrong to rip off customers. We do this daily. Either we are ripping off our customers for a quick buck or slipping one past our DM so the customer makes a quick buck. Either way, and I'm uncomfortable. Culture is awful and abusive. I was told if I didn't like the sales territories, "Apply elsewhere and we'll sue you for enforcement of your non-compete." This came true for the last guy so I'm kind of scared. We quote projects at low rates, with no idea of how to accomplish the job. This makes me feel like any day we will be exposed.
