Pros

The people from Legacy Donlen and Legacy LeasePlan are great to work with.

Cons

- the executive team are out of touch. Such as promoting how hard they’re working while minimizing the work of the unsung heroes who have made the migration possible or making us go back into the office 3 days a week starting after Labor Day weekend. They just put a countdown clock on our intranet - like that’s supposed to make us excited. - this company keeps adding more executives and layers of management making it difficult to move quickly, because its approval by committee. Plus the hiring of these extra executives who have yet to prove their value, take away from hiring people who are really needed - the worker bees. - it seems like there’s the “Wheels Way” or no way. Meaning, there is an old way of thinking and presenting ourselves (like from the early 2000) versus new and innovative. - the medical benefits suck. After the merger my legacy company saw less coverage and an increase in medical expenditures. - Bonuses suck. They cut our legacy company bonus by 50%. - they give you a certain number of personal days (ie sick days) and if you don’t use them, you lose them- they no longer rollover.

Pros

The people at the company are excellent. They take ownership of their roles and are consistently kind, hardworking, and respectful. You feel welcomed by everyone and most employees will tell you that the people are the best part about coming to work. The benefits are competitive and transparent, and the HR members are always helpful, responsive, and supportive when questions come up. The company is continually evolving and moving forward, which keeps the work interesting and engaging — it’s never boring. They have a communication page where you can find the latest news on the company which makes you feel connected. The on-site work environments are also very nice, with perks like free coffee and water stations that make the office feel welcoming and comfortable. Management is approachable, and most supervisors are thoughtful, flexible, and supportive in working with employees’ needs and challenges.

Cons

In-office requirements are not always applied consistently across teams or departments. They should be evaluated by job duties and on-site need. Upper management can sometimes feel out of touch with the day-to-day realities and challenges faced by frontline employees. The technology and systems do not always meet expectations for a company of this size, which can create inefficiencies and frustration. Communication and responsiveness between departments can also be challenging, as teams do not always collaborate or respond to one another in a timely manner. Lots of changes. Some people are not on board or feel there are too many changes all at once.
