Washington, DC

Current Employee – been working at Hertz full-time for more than 3 years

ProsThe company is expanding and offering many oppertunities for employement and advancement at all levels. Senior management has developed a strong business plan to carry the company into the future and keep Hertz positioned as the industry leader.

ConsCan be challenging at times with long hours. Also, nobody likes cleaning cars but it is the company's product and part of the job so has to be done

Advice to Senior ManagementLike many large corporations messages get lost as they filter through multiple levels of management, so the less steps in the communication the clearer and more effective it becomes for front line employees.

ProsChanging culture - shifting to a can-do attitude
Tons of different development opportunities
Shift towards a global focus and re-alignment
