Pros

Always working with newer equipment, nicer trucks compared to some of the other rental companies. Decent PTO plan, benefits are pretty good (vision was important, prescription safety glasses provided at minimal cost above and beyond bi-weekly cost)

Cons

Little room for advancement (management wants to see you succeed but will do little to help you attain your goals of moving up) Every rental delivery and pickup was always "hot off the press and needed to be there 20 minutes ago" mentality Logistical common sense is not a priority (multiple drivers going to the same location when only 1 was needed) Poor raises (they LIVE on the promises of profit sharing and use that as a buffer to why they wont pay you a better hourly wage)

Pros

The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.

Cons

Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
