      I worked at Dollar Thrifty Automotive full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Car privilege, nice fleet, new facility, some of the employees, set schedule, and the sexy milf working directly for the owner!

      Cons

      No raises EVER! High turnover, lazy upper management. No retirement 401k or bonuses. Stressful situations, poor fleet planning, try and change you. Oh and crap Christmas parties.

      Advice to Management

      The ones who work and break a sweat keep doing it your employees will love you. Lazy ones in the office enjoy your comfortable spot you're obviously content making very little money and going no where in life.

      I worked at Dollar Thrifty Automotive (More than a year)

      Pros

      At some time they would give us commission

      Cons

      Hot atmosphere in summer. Bad management. They give little to none in commission since management was replaced. We would always be short in cars giving customers a great disadvantage. We would constantly have to ask hertz, the mother company for borrowed cars and would deny us creating lots of mad customers to deal with

      I have been working at Dollar Thrifty Automotive full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      the weekly pay really that's pretty much it

      Cons

      Overworking of vsa, poor communication between magnagement and vsa.

      Advice to Management

      I work at the love field location and there is NO organization when it come to the VSA department. They can't keep vsa weather it's from bad communication on pay, policies or what cars need to be cleaned for blue Chip guest. And a lack of help we have one manager that helps but we should have vsa to do the work not management. Also a general lack of accountability on management for their mistakes. Employees always gets the blame.

      I worked at Dollar Thrifty Automotive (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Great dealing with customers and helping visitors to the area.

      Cons

      Did not get paid for 3 weeks after srarting, and they pay weekly. No cohesion between counter reps, return reps, runners and management. Constantly heard customers complain about poor treatment at countet. Counter personnel rude and obnoxious towards return reps, demanding cars that we didn't have and weren't capable of getting. Not return reps responsibility. High stress and very degrading.

      Advice to Management

      If you're going to hire more mature people to do the grunt work, maybe do the same with the counter reps. Worked hard and was given accolades from clients but watched like a child by management. Trust who you hire, or don't hire vets, period.
