Pros

I enjoy the fair pay scale, the health and wellness benefits, and the many free services offered to employees and their families. I have never felt more like a human and less like a number than working here. This company really considers the employees to be the strongest asset and treats them with respect.

Cons

This company still has a tendency to get bogged down with intercompany communications, especially when it comes to (Corporate AP, HR, Call Center, etc.) and the individual branches. Sometimes there is confusion, and a lot gets lost in translation. There are a lot of helpful resources to help in job completion and other avenues, but it is not all that intuitive all the time. In all fairness thought it is tough to supply every person with every answer for ever conceivable question, and certain internal processes are becoming more streamlined as time progresses.

Pros

I would say like most successful companies it all starts with having the best people in the right positions and empowering them to make decisions and be the best version of themselves. United has an brilliant executive leadership team working tirelessly behind the scenes to build and foster a wonderful company culture. The major pros working for United are company culture, great pay and benefits, strong safety culture, supportive and empowering management teams, and leading internal recruiting and promotion opportunities nationwide. In my time with United I have held 4 positions, in 3 states all which have been initiated by me and supportive by a company that believes it's greatest asset are it's people.

Cons

I don't have any real cons to add to this list. I have sought greener grass at one point, and was fortunate to have the opportunity to come back to United Rentals and have felt at home since.
