Pros

Good vacation policy, fair pay Opportunity for growth up to manager level.

Cons

Very conservative leadership: if you didn’t grow within the company (coordinator, sales rep, branch manager) it is pretty much impossible to be promoted further. Toxic culture, especially at the senior leadership level. Senior leadership is a clique and there are many bullies. This still is the case despite the change in COO last year.

Hi there... I want to thank you for your review and the time you took to write it. I have talked to the COO about this review and he is hoping that you and I can chat confidentially so that we can fix this. I am hoping that you can help us in any way, and it starts with us having a conversation. We value your opinion, and I look forward to chatting. Please reach out to me at thomas.wirtz@hercrentals.com

Pros

There are absolutely no pros to working here

Cons

The worst place I’ve ever worked. Management is completely disengaged and cares nothing about making the business run smooth, and sure not about employee satisfaction. The Director is the most condescending person I’ve ever met in my life, and casts a dark shadow over the entire department. Nothing is done about it. Job security? You won’t have that here. It’s like Survivor, every week someone else gets voted off. Avoid this place like the plague
