Pros

Good job for last resort. I had a great time communicating with the customers and i really like to help out all the customers. I did my best everyday to improve the company. But it was just to hard to satisfy everybody.

Cons

No advancement to further your job. There was no communication with managment and employees. Some times the goal to meet with the company was imposiable to complete cause sometimes there were not enought customers. And it was very disapointing when your manager yelled at you because you werent making the numbers but the problem was there are not customers. So what do you do. You move on and find another job.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

Some good, genuine people and good PTO

Cons

Working conditions: you are expected to know everything about the car rental industry and expected to be an expert on the programs that are used. If you make a mistake, you are criticized and everyone loses trust in you immediately, even if you did good work before. If there is a difference in two numbers that is a very small difference, it's treated as if you murdered their family. You are asked to do big tasks, then the finished project is never looked at after a week. You are also asked to do something that hasn't been done before and you run into the problem where you are either told that you are taking too long or that the numbers are wrong, so either way you are going to get criticized for something. There is clear favoritism within the company, another employee is allowed to make a much larger mistake and it is brushed aside and a very, very small mistake that is fixable in 2 seconds is considered a cardinal sin. Promotions are also seemed to be a popularity contest and how many people know you or how many clubs you're in rather than how good you are at your job. The people: it feels that a lot of the people that work at the company never left high school, or are on power trips. There is constant gossiping and people will talk behind each others backs and say bad things about them all the time. You are not allowed to make a comment or opinion on something without people giving you trouble for it. I have seen managers call people "retards" and other names. The amount of unprofessional language that I have heard in the workplace was unbelievable, where any other company would fire the employees that said the words immediately, but HR does nothing. The company is performing very poorly, and you can tell based on the behavior of the people. It feels that they have no souls and the only way to get dopamine is by being rude or disrespectful.
