United Rentals, Inc. Employer Reviews

There was a great group of people I worked with in the beginning. A lot of work and travel involved. However, it was balanced by a great working group that have become good friends after I left.

I learned many new things at United Rentals. The rental business heavily services the contruction industry. UR also caters to Industrial business as well. Have extensive knowledge of the steps of construction, and learned many new safety procedures.

I liked there values better as a smaller company as US Rentals before merger.

I worked there for almost 5 years as an outside sales rep. I would wake up and get in my computer and map out the day. made about 25 job site calls per day. covered a territory that was about 150 square miles. My boss wanted me on the first job site by7am and leave the last one at 5pm. That made for 12 hour days if you include travel time. Ended up – more...  getting burnt out with the company, mainly because of my BM. Lots of good people here though. – less

IT WAS A GREAT COMPANY TO WORK FOR. THE HOURS WERE STEADY BUT THE WEATHER WAS SOMETIMES NOT GOOD.

Over all it was interesting work
Had training for equipment
Was friends with fellow workers

Company has good benefits. Company tends to do away with positions and will place you in different positions or lay you off.

Your input was solicited, received and considered. That went away

Great working environment with many positive learning curve. Less job security due to cooperation looking towards saving money and cutting expenses as much as possible

This company is one of the best companies I have worked for in 20 years. The company puts has a dedication to maintaining their equipment to minimize breakdowns

Interviewed at HQ. Made me sit in a chair 6 inches off the floor. Tried to brow beat my past and current salaries out of me. Very unprofessional. Heard the same from other employees who had worked there.

This is a good job if you like variety and the challenge of meeting strict deadlines. The Parts/Service manager position had the benefit of dealing with both in-house workers and the general public.

UR is an absolute joke. Don't get hurt at work or you will need an attorney. I use to work for Sunbelt prior to United. Left there on good terms in a different state. They are FAR superior to UR. Manager I had ONLY had the job b/c of who he knew. Had no clue about the industry. Come to find out from other employees at other locals that this was the – more...  norm. I worked an hour from and found a location hiring closer to home. Manager at new location approved my transfer but manager at my location refused it b/c he didn't feel like hiring someone else. Was told this is the norm as well. You are pretty musch trapped in position and location. – less

I really enjoyed working at United Rentals. It was a great place to work and they really valued their employees.

I loved working in the office environment. I was in charge of multipule phone lines, answering and outgoing calls. I kept track of money due and money owed to the company. I kept track of the entire payroll and also kept track of equipment being rented out.

Great company to work for and family oriented. Every department worked as a team and it was great.

As a Corporate Safety Trainer, I worked with a TEAM of professionals, who without a doubt are the most knowledgable individuals that I have ever met. Anyone ever needing assistance with a home, commercial or industrial project needs to contact a Sales Rep for United Rentals before they begin.

The company in general is good, with most problems in management.

Another company that is Headquarter up North that uses Florida workers as expendable trash.
