Pros

Working on the modern stack isn't too bad. The cantina is pretty decent. Car lease rates can be excellent.

Cons

If you aren't one of the chosen few, you will find no upward path in this company. Profit sharing is total rubbish. In a year when the family increased it's net worth by over a billion, and received $70M in dividends, total bonus payments to employees were $30-50M (standard 10%). Even as an employee, I had trouble with 75-80% of the rentals I made. Many incompetent employees spread around many departments. No communication about what is happening. The offices suck and they refuse to put in any A/C.

Pros

Excellent work environment, helpful managers

Cons

It only takes one or two customer reviews to affect you negatively. Disproportionate to the number of customers you handle.
