Pros

It's a good job. Room for advancement.

Cons

Unfortunately, in this market (austin) I was originally leading up to become and Outside Sales Rep but they began hiring only good looking women for the job. These women had no rental experience and couldn't tell you the difference between a backhoe and forklift.

Pros

If they want you they will pay! During the flood company spared no time with assisting employees and family. Company also have opportunity for growth

Cons

The the New Orleans/ Baton Rogue Metro its a good ol boy atmosphere.This area is run by saleman, if you question a salman who have been there a period of time because the salman want to give a customer a credit or a "loaner", you are pounced on through email as if you are not doing your job. Store managers do not hire employees upper management put extended family in positions that they are not qualified for. There are many family members that work in this area. Hiring has completely STOPPED, employees who have left have never been replace when it comes to drivers and mechanics, but they continue to hire salesman, who were fired form other companies. Managers are even dating employees this area in the time I have worked here is on a downward spiral.
