      Pros

      Shop mechanics are very knowledgable and professional in the work place. I love the fact that there's a safety brief every day during the work week. It reminds me when I'm in uniform and I have to stress safety to all my fellow comrades to prevent any injuries and keep accountability. The multiple work sections the company has for the equipment can be ready for rent is a great process.

      Cons

      Before applying to United Rentals I was a heavy mobile equipment repairer for the US Army reserves for 4 years as a civilian. I resigned due to personal reasons to do what was best for my family. During my interview for UR I was hired as a Tech 2 due to my experience and impressive resume background. The entire probation period I was set up to only service and repair tech 1 level equipment. I was also not put on the list to attend any of the equipment course classes that went on during my employment there. 3days before my probation ended I was terminated from UR because I did not agree to be demoted to a entry level technician. Now that I think about it I truly believe I was set up for failure from the day I was started with the company. Yet I still believe that UR is a great company to work for , but the leadership in the K25 branch needs to start leading by example DK. Don't treat veterans different due to their service connected injuries. What's right is right and what's wrong is wrong. I just don't want this to happen to anyone else, especially another veteran.

      Pros

      Great benefits, with several perks such as company truck, phone and ETC... Great place to work if they don’t micro manage. Commission structure is great. Goals can be reasonable to attain.

      Cons

      Micro-management to the 10th power. Bad decision by management, made on who management likes better. Pushes education to certain people to get a particular position but others will get the position if their friends or family. Deserving people will get looked over. Too many favorites And a large amount of Nepotism and cronyism. Mostly seen in the Mississippi-Tenn area like nephews getting hired with no proper background in sales over deserving people who’ve been with the company for years.
