      Pros

      Great management of "image and story" to Wall Street since RSC merger. Stock has outperformed. Debt is dropping, share buy back was a stellar move, growth is controlled and management has greatly improved financial discipline. $100/ share by 2015!

      Cons

      1970's Management approach at local, district and region levels. Reactive field management style won't change - not sure that it should. Questionable ethics still haunt URI at high levels, but Wall Street has much higher tolerance for ethical scandals compared to 1990s.

      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.

      Pros

      Medical coverage is good, Sick time is average. Paycheck hasn't bounced, yet.

      Cons

      Dental and Vision plans are a joke, I was told by benefits that I live "Out of Network" and such have no coverage, but they enjoy charging me for it anyhow. If you are a driver, there is no chance for advancement without taking a PAY CUT to go into inside sales. Branch management is largely incompetent and richly awarded for it. Was told by Branch management as well as my former Dispatcher that there were not going to be raises again this year due to budget cuts, but they may be available in June or July of 2011. I just received a letter from Corporate that Merritt Raises HAD been re-instated already. If you like being told to violate HOS, Lied to about raises, and poor maintenance practices, go ahead and apply.
