      Pros

      Company rewards those that work hard and produce results. Good pay and Benefits. Management has done a good job navigating the company though the down turn. United Rentals is the industry leaders and is improving every day.

      Cons

      Not really any big cons to speak of. There were a lot of people that lost their jobs in the last two years but the company had to do what it could to survive. This is no different than most other companies given the economy.

      Pros

      The salary structure is competetive. The medical, dental and vision benefits are very good. The large number of locations provides opportunities for advancement and also the ability to relocate. There are areas where the company has benefitted from good personnel and strong leadership, it is in these locations where it is possible a enjoyable and successful career with a single company.

      Cons

      In some districts advancement depends on favoritism and kowtowing over ability and experience. This company is losing a lot of talented employees to their competition because of poor management. Policies are selectivly enforced. Safety is preached but often overlooked when it conflicts with profitability or expediance.
