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

Workplace is forward thinking and dedicated to change as the business climate changes.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

A typical day at work week consists of 9+ hr days and some weekend ends.

I learned a lot of revenue management and how the company operates.

My coworkers are hard workers and competitive.

I love working hard and succeeding in everything that I do in life.

Hertz corporation have a comparable advancement program, that gives individuals opportunity to develop their sales skill with good tools.
Like any corporation they will ask a lot from individuals ,and sometime the long working hours could be be a burning.

scan Cars in and out of lot take care of tow truck drivers park cars on lot give others breaks. take inventory on lot and give customers ride to airport when needed.

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)

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.

Typical day is very busy
I learned so much about insurance.
Co-worker can be good to work with
hardest part is the 60 hours a week.
enjoyable part is being able to make bonus

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.

Stressful place with no job security, you can be sent to any random other location at any time for any reason, must clean cars while wearing a tie.

I loved working for the Hertz company i was able to learn new programs as well as new policies.

Productive if you stay away from the drama within the employs.

All i did was take calls for people wanted to rent a car, took 100 plus calls a day. had to meet a percentage quota of around 60%
