Avis Budget Group Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Great Benefits and an relatively easy job

Cons

Long nights sometimes and not the best work/life balance

Pros

Commission is great during the busy seasin

Cons

Management is terrible and you truly have to work hard for work/life balance

Pros

The free car and Flexible schedule for management. It can definitely be a fun environment.

Cons

The company is set in the Stone Age and has no plans to advance to improve the customer experience instead they spend millions on projects that will ultimately frustrate customers and make the employees jobs more hectic and unmanageable. Certain Union locations run like a zoo because of contractual agreements that severely impact the customer in a terrible way. The job is incredibly physically and emotionally draining on your work and home life whether you have balance or not. One minute you'll be getting yelled at by a customer the next you'll be cleaning a car for a customer who's been waiting 1hr for their reservation. you only get promoted based on politics. They choose you and make you. It doesn't matter how hard you work.

Pros

The culture is very friendly and inviting! The company allows a lot of flexibility and a good work life balance.

Cons

Things get done very slowly and it is hard to see change happen and be accepted by a lot of employees.

Pros

It's a stable job with plenty of hours, reasonable pay and benefits. There are opportunities to move up but they are not as appealing as that seem at first.

Cons

All scheduling is done by seniority thus making a balance of work and home life hard to accomplish until you've been around a few years. The structure of commissions means that the counter employees with seniority will almost always take the shifts with the best opportunities to earn more money and you may get stuck on graveyard shift for a year or more.

Pros

-Felt I had a fair amount of responsibility at an entry level position -Very good work/life balance; very few matters spilled beyond business hours

Cons

-Could feel lost within the large corporate structure -Didn't feel there was a ton of room for advancement

Pros

Good work and life balance

Cons

Inconsistent management in the department

Pros

Talking to different customers from different aspects of life

Cons

No work life balance associates worried about things that have nothing to do with them constantly asking when 90days will be up

Pros

Amazing company Different tasks each day Good work and life balance Training Excellent Amazing fleet of Cars and Van's Great management

Cons

Some days long hours - Tough

Pros

None at this time...used to be a great company

Cons

There is no support for AO's. The contract states that Avis Budget will provide the equipment to do the job...guess what gang? In this business, equipment means cars and trucks! It's not brain surgery...you take almost 3% in commission pay away from our commission, ask us to acquire MORE new accounts, but can't properly provide adequate fleet to take care if existing customers. It's ALL a game for Wall Street. I have to wonder who's bonus is going to be padded as a result if taking $1500.00 + a month from my operation. There's a lot if empty promises and NO work/life balance.
