Pros

In the Washington D.C area Hertz locations you get good pay overall from all other Hertz in the area. You get good hours and

Cons

Depending on the location you can be overworked 7am-6pm and depending on your area you will have to work by yourself. Alot of the times your cleaning cars and renting to customeres, you have to travel to get the cars clean them and then rent them to customers. You have to travel to get cars from other locations, they have limited drivers to get you the cars you need. At Hertz they cut corners on almost everything, recently it has been your commission. High turn over that is no lie, who wants to work at the same position and not advance because they don't have a bachelors degree? It takes 4 years to get it, after 4 years you can then become 1 grade higher, and after 1 year 1 grade higher and after 2 years you can become a Branch Manager by then your worn out and want to quit.

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.
