It used to be great. Now not so much.

Pros

Decent Benefits, decent pay. If you are in the rental industry UR is probably the best looking horse in the glue factory.

Cons

Almost all decision making has been stripped from branch managers and sent up the ladder. Rate approvals for BM's are narrowed down to a very narrow range. Paperwork/paperwork/paperwork. If you aspire to be a BM, be sure you like to do clerical work first, otherwise stay in sales. What have you done for me lately atmosphere.

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.

Pros

Most Employees were very good to deal with Great benefits Close to home

Cons

Very difficult to move up in the company Would be required to work long hours in a day, or be "on call" and if you got called out in the middle of the night for say 4 hours, instead of paying you overtime they would require you to come in 4 hours late 2 days after you were called out. There was nothing to make you want to be there, they removed all employee perks. Very poor Management. Pay was minimal for the work done. (i've worked at places with less pay and were a100 times more enjoyable)
