Pros

Moved up quickly by working hard

Cons

Dealing with corporate mentality and all of the PPB, policy and procedure bulletins. Regional managers can be difficult to get along with.

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.
