      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

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

      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.

      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.

      Pros

      This company is good to work for if you have no children. It's demanding, but the compensation is fair.

      Cons

      This is the 4th busiest airport in the nation, so it gets hectic.
