Pros

Most of the people you work with are great. At the branch level it is almost like a family and that makes for a great work environment.

Cons

The insurance plan is sub par. I don't know if that is the company's fault or the provider. They tell you to go to minor med but when you do, you get a bill because the copayment doesn't cover you being seen.

Pros

I left on my own terms and am incredibly happy with my new job. Most of our management was laid off only to be replaced by overwhelming incompitence. If you are okay with people forced to do business with you because you are the largest rental company in the United States, then I guess their fleet size is a plus

Cons

After United bought RSC customer service was thrown out the window and all of us territory managers were sent out to essentially sell lies. It was way more fun to compete against United rentals and dominate them rather than to work for such a selfish company. They have absolutely no respect for their customers business nor for the employees working hard to build customer relationships. RSC was growing rapidly ( due to a strong customer service culture), United realized they were a threat and added them to the list of companies they have taken down. The sliding pay scale is a joke and only a way to pay employees less. And just sets up the poorly trained ISR's to make customers mad by providing no consistency in pricing. United's equipment is junk and is just asking for a law suite when it hurts somebody for not being properly maintained. If fighting with your management on a daily basis to do what is RIGHT for your customer - fill out an application today!

Pros

Fun, different each day, team environment, anyone with good computer savvy is highly regarded, pay is great, based off of effort.

Cons

Still working thru merging best practices from thr RSC buyout. Sometimes too much too fast, but any growing company will have those same constraints.
