Pros

The pay was decent and benefits were average.

Cons

Reliable Onsite (porta-John) division only cares about revenue. They simply could have cared less about safety.

Pros

I would say like most successful companies it all starts with having the best people in the right positions and empowering them to make decisions and be the best version of themselves. United has an brilliant executive leadership team working tirelessly behind the scenes to build and foster a wonderful company culture. The major pros working for United are company culture, great pay and benefits, strong safety culture, supportive and empowering management teams, and leading internal recruiting and promotion opportunities nationwide. In my time with United I have held 4 positions, in 3 states all which have been initiated by me and supportive by a company that believes it's greatest asset are it's people.

Cons

I don't have any real cons to add to this list. I have sought greener grass at one point, and was fortunate to have the opportunity to come back to United Rentals and have felt at home since.
