Pros

1). Cheap rental cars. 2). You could get to drive different cars during work(depends upon location). 3). More number of hours so you could make more money/week.

Cons

1). Even though the car rental is cheap you can't afford it with the salary given by Hertz. 2). Hours literally suck. There will be weeks when you want to work more and make more money but this job wears you out and if you don't want to work overtime in a particular week you would still have to come to work because of scarcity of the employees. Most of the people leave in 2-3 months. There's no life if you are working at Hertz retail/HLE stores.Report early morning and by the time you leave the office you are physically tired that you just want to go to bed without even eating supper. That's because you have to clean cars. Yes, you read it right. You pick customers from home/bodyshops/train stations, clean the cars, rent cars, sell insurance, drop of customer to homes/bodyshops/train stations, fill air in the tire. You do all this when there are 10-15 customers waiting and literally cursing you for making them late for appointments at your store and you are only 1-2 people doing all that stuff. You have to clean the car, even if it's snowing/raining/ or on a sunny day without any shed. You are also expected to clean the office/toilet and throw out garbage. And after doing all this if your insurance sales are less than the goal projected by your Area Manager you are written off. Yes, There are many perks and discounts at Hertz but you can't afford anything with the paycheck.

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

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
