Pros

Ops Management level employees receive company car and free gasoline.

Cons

Annual salary is much lower that similar positions in other industries. Prior to sale from Ford Motor, senior management team was actually focused on running a successful auto rental company. Post sale, new leadership focused only on stock price is running company into the ground. Senior management implemented a "Lean" program, and promptly began to lay off thousands of employees. How did they expect to get employee buy-in to the "Hertz Improvement Process" when most employees associate it with layoffs? Mr. Frissora must not have actually read the "Toyota book" that he passed around to everyone like a bible.

Pros

It is a decent place to work with a steady environment and meaningful day-to-day responsibilities. Overall, it's not a bad company to be a part of if you are looking for stability and purpose in your tasks.

Cons

The internal culture is highly political, and professional advancement often depends more on favoritism than merit. You frequently have to play corporate games and kiss up to management just to get ahead or be noticed.
