Pros

Salaries are good overall. Great benefits.

Cons

Older employees tend to be first to go during a head count issue, business downturn, etc. Company is very youth minded, focusing on the future of the company. When you cross into your 50's, watch out. You no longer represent the future for the company, and you are at a greater risk to be moved out as soon as a reason can be found other than discrimination. Older applicants with years of experience always lose out to younger college grads with no experience in the business. Very costly.

Pros

Good pay In my office, great managers who care about you and what you do. No weekends

Cons

Since the acquisition with RSC, United Rentals has taken on their policies and their people. Upper management are pushing out the United Rentals people and replacing with RSC people. "Too many chief's, not enough indians". Not enough people to actually do the job. hiring freeze. micromanagement Upper management does not listen to the people that actually work.
