    Decent Gig

    Mar 2, 2021 - Summer Car Cleaner in Worcester, MA

    Pros

    They gave pretty good hours. Effort required is proportional to being a minimum wage position. Management was pretty reasonable, too.

    Cons

    I cannot think of any, Its a pretty solid summer job to have if you're a college student or teenager.

    Customer service rep.

    Jan 13, 2021 - Class A CDL Delivery Driver in Las Vegas, NV
    Recommend

    Pros

    The job can be hard, Do to selling insurance if you dont meet the quote then expect to be the person that is lazzy. So if your not a con-artist dont exspect to be good at this job. telling everyone this insurance is the thing to have and selling it at a high price oh yah dont forget the up grades but its your money,

    Cons

    If you have street skills if you know what i[ mean you will be good at this! But if you feel bad in taking people money for your gain dont apply.

    Pros

    hmm, pros. get to drive brand new ford trucks since that is all the owner knows how to buy

    Cons

    liars, those set in their ways., back stabbers, everyone is the boss to the new hire their only job is to clean a car and they cant even do that. EGO city. heaven help you should you do the actual job of cleaning the car and think outside of the box, nothing but butt kissers when any form of mgmt is around but backstabbers when mgrment isnt looking. a HORRIBLE HR. the HR needs to be fired and rehired. after they are actually trained in what a HR position is really about..aka the employee? not management?

    Service Agent

    Aug 11, 2016 - Service Agent in Indianapolis, IN
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Typically a very nice and helpful staff no matter the area of expertise. This was helpful in working between locations as it sometimes took the combined teamwork of several different locations to make the right things happen for customers.

    Cons

    People are sometimes stressed out; this can make it hard to ask for help from superiors or people above you. However, this is a very minor con for this company and not something to be taken too heavily.

    Would not recommend, but I worked for a franchise in Fayetteville NC.

    Apr 13, 2014 - Car Rental Agent in Fayetteville, NC
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Unfortunately, since getting new management in 2013, the pros that MAY have been present, are no longer.

    Cons

    The managers always want you to talk to them when there is an issue. However when it's brought up everything is pushed under the rug. It's unfortunate that I, nor my coworkers had a voice. And don't dare try to go higher up, because they're just as corrupt. I usually don't write reviews, let a lone bad ones but I really hope someone is able to look into this establishment. If only I had the time to really explain how flawed Fayetteville NC thrifty is. Now please, do not late my rating discourage you from applying to Thrifty itself, it's just the Fayetteville branch I would steer clear of.

    Pros

    Closely owned corporation, a franchise with a heart. Minority owned company who's ownership are committed to helping the community by employing people who want and deserve a second chance. This company is working hard to make a difference in Oklahoma. They own their own cars and each employee on all levels seems to really care and take pride in their jobs.

    Cons

    limited selection of cars, but always seem to have cars
