No wasted second
area manager (Former Employee), U.S – May 15, 2013
Pros: car and gas provided
Cons: no loyality ceo is a joke diva with picture of himself everywhere
I managed two Airport rental car operations and a fleet of over two thousand vehicles. I had over 70 employees report to me. I was responsible to make sure all of my employees were selling and that a sales culture was in place. I had standard work in place for all job categories. The most challenging aspect was maintaining the high level of service – more... at the same time as being out of cars. This was also the most enjoyable part of the job what we called getting to the bottom out of cars and making your reservations. This is the thrill part of rental car operations. – less

My Foundation
Operation Manager (Former Employee), Houston, TX – May 13, 2013
Pros: free car, free gas
Cons: no life
Hertz, the work days we're not bad at all. I learn to look out for my self. The management wasn't always on the same page. We were over worked and under paid. The hardest part of the job was working on Christmas Day. The most enjoyable I would say was the company car that they trap you with.

Great people to work with, lots of culture change, hard to advance quickly
Contract Pricing Analyst, Hertz Equipment Rental (Current Employee), Park Ridge, NJ – May 13, 2013
Days can be usually long, but its up to you to really manage your time. There is plenty of work but not enough people. Management is great, work well with their direct reports. Upper Management is very tough, but will consistently challenge you. Very diverse so you can fit in one way or another.

Money Hungry company who don't care about customers or employees
Customer Service Rep (Current Employee), Virginia – May 13, 2013
Pros: good insurance benefits
Cons: no breaks, don't care about employees or customers, very stressful
The benefits are really good. However the pay is barely above minimum wadge. I have worked here for a year and it was a good job till they realigned the higher ranks. Now all they care about is making money any way they can. I have been told 3 times recently that Hertz can do without me and that they can always find more people. I always give 100% and – more... I am very focused in providing excellent customer service and today I was told its not about the customers its about hertz getting every penny out of people they can. I work 8 hours a day and do not get a lunch break and then to be told hertz doesn't care if I leave really proves its time to find something else!!!! – less

Quite possibly the worse job I’ve ever had.
Manager Trainee (Former Employee), Colorado Springs, CO – May 10, 2013
Pros: drive new cars, a paycheck
Cons: few brakes, what promotion? what raise? very long hours, undefined promotion process, hertz management training is that in name only, smokers smokers everywhere, wash & vacuum cars in business casual attire
The person who hired me on at hertz lied to me a lot. Just like they did everyone else hired here in the springs. I was told I’d have a promotion and raise within 3 months, told I’d be trained on back office procedures. I have a decent college degree and they promoted people with no education over me and several other who hold advanced degrees. Four – more... months into my employment with this company I had yet to be trained on back office procedures, I was sitting in an office across town from where they told me I would be working, by myself managing a hertz for the same pay. I took it upon myself to get there well before opening so I’d have inventory to rent – 10 hour days became a norm and often they’d stretch into 11 and 12 hrs.
They knew all this, they knew about my multitudes of customer accolades, they knew I wanted to move up. They told me at first all I needed to do was complete training classes online. Then I needed to have a certain level of sales success. Then it was I should have also went out to promote hertz more by then they’d put someone with no education through a program I wasn’t offered and promoted them first. Then they said it was my fault I should have tried harder-tried to promote hertz more – something I wasn’t even trained to do months and months into being with the company.
Just stay far away from this company and if you have to work for them GET IT ALL IN WRITING - my father told me that and boy I wish I’d listened.
The whole place is run shoddily, lacking integrity; seriously an enormous disappointment and waste of my time. – less

Work environment was good
Manager, Graphic Design (Current Employee), Park Ridge, NJ – May 8, 2013
Overall the typical day at work was great.
I learned a great deal about the changes in technology on the web and in Print from my peers.
Management was lacking.
Hardest part of the job was prioritizing all the various requests.
Most enjoyable part of my job was working with and managing a great design team.

Potential for a lot of overtime pay and a fun place to work
Manager Associate (Former Employee), Puyallup, WA – May 7, 2013
Pros: overtime, driving many types of vehicles, sundays off
Cons: sales, cleaning out the vehicles
A typical day included renting vehicles to customers for personal use, business, or insurance replacement, selling optional coverages to all customers, printing out and filing daily and weekly reports, meeting customers at body shops and renting them a vehicle, and marketing to body shops and insurance agencies. I learned that if you follow a proven – more... sales script you can be pretty successful at sales. Management was very helpful and made the transition into the business very smooth. I liked all my co-workers and they made it a fun place to come and work. The hardest part of the job was the selling of optional coverages. The most enjoyable part was never being in the office for to long and always staying busy. – less

Not The Best Job Available
Manager Trainee (Current Employee), North Jersey – May 2, 2013
Pros: drive new cars, easy management trainee program, atypical office job
Cons: long hours, low pay
Bonuses are not as easy to attain as you are led to believe. Their management trainee program is easy to advance in. (pardon the bad grammar)

long hours, good bonus
Branch Manager Trainee (Former Employee), Lynbrook, NY – April 26, 2013
Pros: rental discounts, big bonuses, lots of driving
Cons: long hours, low base pay, manipulative
Hertz is definitely the type of place where they will do whatever they have to in order to make money. Moving up is SOLELY based on how much money you make the company in a short amount of time.

Fun and Outgoing
Transport Driver (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – April 24, 2013
Met a lot of people working here. Cleaning and transporting jobs was a typical day's work. My co-workers were fun and upbeat. Hardest part of the job was the commute to and from the airport. The most enjoyable part of the job was driving the many cars they had available to the customers.
