United Rentals' biggest investment is in thier employees!
Pros
The company takes time to recruit top level employees they can invest in. I believe the company can attribute a lot of its success by the way they treat thier people. Rather than feeling like you belong to a company, you feel more like you belong to a team and a family that you are very proud of, which makes you want to give just a little more everyday. Training and mentorship are never scarce, so you continually work with people who are helping you grow and improve professionally. Leadership is great, management is very knowledgeble and a good resource to learn from. UR also understands the importance of balancing home and work. They provide great benefits and programs to live a healthy lifestyle and really care about not only supporting each other, but everyone's families as well.
Cons
United Rentals is a great company with plenty of opportunity for advancement. However, I believe the company could benefit by developing a more structured pathway for career goals.
