Pros

United Rentals posseses the size and footprint to dominate the market.

Cons

United Rentals has forgotten the ABC's of rental and is trying to re-invent the wheel. Too many changes/elimination in management and experienced employees has reduced their knowlege in this industry, as a result they are making the same mistakes that have already been learned in the past. Most of the employees do not trust mid and upper management due to the continual turnover and will jump at the opporunity to work for the competition.

Pros

Good pay. Interesting Industry. Good place to work when the economy is moving forward. In a positive economy this is a great industry with many opportunites.

Cons

In the current economic decline UR is making extreme cuts. Maybe too extreme in some areas. Almost panic type moves. Tough times call for tough measures.
