Long hour...busy days
Manager Trainee (Current Employee), Venice, CA – June 18, 2013
Pros: great benefits.
Cons: long hours, no work life balance.
This job requires you to have a bachelor degree but I don't feel like it's need. You mostly sell products and service like any other retail job. But it goes beyond that you work long hours and have to wash and clean cars all day long. Bonus are great if you meet your monthly goals if not you only get 10 an hour.

Branch Manager (Former Employee), Abilene, TX – June 17, 2013
The most enjoyable part of the job is that I had my own company car with free gas as a manager. That was nice during the tough economic times but I did have to work very hard to earn that privilege. Toughest part of the job is that it is turnover is bad and it is hard to get a break.

A good jof for recent graduates.
Assistant Branch Manager (Former Employee), VA – June 16, 2013
Pros: lots of overtime
Cons: lots of ovetime
This is a good position for recent graduates with few commitments. Work hours during my tenure were very long, although the overtime pay can be addictive in its own way.

Too much info to learn in a shot period
Flex sales rep (Former Employee), Alabama – June 12, 2013
Pros: paid weekly plus bonuses
Cons: short breaks and too much info to learn in a short period. had headaches everyday.
training was six weeks with two weeks onsite. I learned alot but was overloaded with info daily in order to learn job. The hardest part was not completing a sale or hangups. Bad shifts because senior sales had first picks.

ludacrus expectations
Manager Trainee/Assistant Manager (Current Employee), Latham, NY – June 11, 2013
Pros: driving new cars
Cons: no lunch break... ever, low pay for the amount of work done
The local management for hertz is great, the upper management is so out of touch with reality that it is almost laughable. You are expected to work 50+ hours per week and get paid horribly for it. During my time as an employee for Hertz, I had seen more than 10 people come and go within one year at an office; they burn you out quickly. Despite all of – more... this, I did learn a lot about growing and maintaining a business. They also help with selling techniques and overcoming obsticles. – less

Horrible
Counter Sales Representative (Former Employee), El Paso, TX – June 8, 2013
Pros: get pay weekly
Cons: management
This company is horrible to work for.
1st Management (specially in El Paso, TX) sucks.
2nd there's no communication whatsoever with the Corporate to managers to associates.
3rd Pay is not so much.
4th managers in this city don't give you independence at your work place. You know the policy of the company and requirements and still they want you to call – more... them for every little thing when a customers cries. – less

Nice job, but underpaid.
Reservation Agent (Former Employee), Flagstaff, AZ – June 6, 2013
Pros: nice shift, usually busy.
Cons: minimum wage or next to it.
Mostly I did reservations by phone and at the counter. Sometimes we would deliver cars to customers in Sedona or the Grand Canyon. Would help clean cars at times.

I learned a lot about juggling cars at a small airport.

Management was ok, but I was told I would be a management trainee, and that did not happen.

Co-workers were mostly fine.

The hardest – more... part of the job was making sure the customers got the car they wanted.

The most enjoyable part was talking to customers. – less

Hertz in a nutshell
Sales Associate/Manager Trainee (Current Employee), Baltimore, MD – June 3, 2013
I love the fast pace enviroment and that there are many opportunites to earn extra cash by making your goals monthly. With a 10 hour day its usually busy from opening to close which Ido enjoy. Managers are very hands on and by far I have recieved the best training with this company.

Enjoyed making reservations about cars
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), oklahoma city, ok – June 2, 2013
Pros: great benefits

Making car reservations, meeting new interesting people and phone calls. I learned how to multi-task between two different screens and also listening to my customer while entering information.

I would say the most – more... enjoyable part would be satisfying my customers and getting their reservation made. – less
