The Hertz Corporation Employer Reviews

start at 8 am till 6 pm from monday- friday
normallly i pick up coustomers, pick up phone calls and take care of the maintanance of the lot ( cars be in a good shape to be rented)
what i lear is how to management and take care of the coustomers that is the most importand for the business.

Opportunity to advance is excellent in mid level management positions. More difficult as your career develops. Great company overall.

I worked for Hertz briefly and would not recommend anyone work there unless you are really desperate for a job. The company does not care about its employees, pay is mediocre, hours are bad (early mornings, weekends, etc.). There really are no perks to working here besides getting to drive their cars around. There is no room to be creative here and – more...  it can be painfully boring as well. – less

Micro-management. Is a family company and so, revolves around what seems best for the up keep of the family.

This Corporation has a hard time fullfilling its reservations and mainting a steady inventory of its fleet of vehicles. The management is unorganized and challenging to work with. The most challenging part of the job is telling customers that we don't have enough vehicles for their preferences or that we don't have a vehicle available for their reservation. – more...  It makes the job very stressfull, as well as unorganized management at the higher tiers of the location. – less

A typical day was making car rental reservations for customers, I had the opportunity to learn other skills while working there: such as the Travel Agent desk assisting Travel agents with difficult problems, and also, the Help desk working with agents on difficult situations, like conflict resolution which was the hardest part for me. Co-workers were – more...  great still friends with a lot of them, most enjoyable part was making the lasting friendships, and receiving the Heart Award for great customer service. Management was ok. The overall rating is a 4. – less

IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN AND WANT TO WORK KID FRIENDLY HOURS THIS NOT THE JOB FOR YOU .

A lot of work in the beginning but can be beneficial in the end. Very much a male dominated field that makes it extremely hard for women to be promoted. Overall a great experience to learn about improving skills in sales and customer service department.

you get to drive in a bunch of different cars listen to music on the downtime, program was decent

Hertz is a decent company to work for. Like most companies, Hertz does has its room for improvment. They could use better employee relations and increased training opportunities. However, they are great at taking care of thier customers and empowering its employees to satisfy customers requests.

This is a very poor company to work for. The ethics of middle and upper management are bad. They require their employees to sign all sorts of documentation about honesty and ethics and yet when it comes to promotions and bonuses their ethics are non existent. I worked there 7 years, the last 4 i went without a raise. I applied for all sorts of positions – more...  hoping to move up. Even though I was more than qualified I was passed over time and time again with no explanation. Meanwhile the city manager for the air port was allowed to put his gas cost (in the thousands of dollars) on the books of our branches effectively whipping out our quarterly bonuses. He recieved NO punishment. The company wanted me to drive a rental car to my branch (30 minutes away) to help out the branch. When I used a rental car to take my lunch break (because my car was 30 minutes away) I got in trouble for it. And that was when i actualy got a lunch break. I worked almost for a year at the Little River office with NO lunch break at all. This is company is little more than a sweat shop for young graduates just out of college and should be avoided. Despite what they tell you it is NOT a career place to work – less

Great active job meeting travelers and assisting with problems

I came to Hertz, in 1999 as a partime xoc, I would move cars to and from lot to carwash, then moved them to lot to be rented, Got an opportunity to work as instant return outside, would scan, and give customer receipt on the spot and direct to buses. I enjoyed this job, because of the people, I worked with, using customer service skills, learning to – more...  work in a Union yard, was an education in itself, Texas isn't big on unions. I learned that through meeting people from the North or West they were exposed to unions and organizations for every type of work; from housekeeping, to working as a Merchant Marine. There were things you couldn't do, because it was not in your job discriptions, and because of this, I got shift differential had never heard of that in regards to myself; rules and regulations, and compensations.I loved working here. – less

I'v been with the company for 5 years and unfortunatly the company has been getting worst and worst.

This is a wonderful company to work with. Fair and friendly co-workers at the time I was working for the company.

Great company, just needs more organization. Branches need more employees and training should be done in a timely manor. A better pay structure should be created and not change on a monthly basis.

Ok job good working conditons, fast paced, demanding at times,good about helping customers bad about getting customers to pay there bills to include liening there property. Management was sometimes had deaf ears on problems with customers . Coworkers were good but had no time to assist in problems situations. Learned customer service very well.

In the Manager Trainee position I was in, I was thrust into a leadership position where one's sales skills and communication techniques are tested right out of college. I only terminated my employment there due to emergencies in my family life that required me to be literally 1,000 miles away. The job does regularly require a 45-50 hour work week, but – more...  for those who can stand the schedule, it is a well worth it opportunity. – less

Preparing paperwork for passengers to rent a vehicle.

Too much paper work.

Management pleasant.

Co-workers friendly.

Annoyed customers

Meeting people

Well-respected leader in the car rental industry. Not an employee friendly environment.
