Pros

Great management of "image and story" to Wall Street since RSC merger. Stock has outperformed. Debt is dropping, share buy back was a stellar move, growth is controlled and management has greatly improved financial discipline. $100/ share by 2015!

Cons

1970's Management approach at local, district and region levels. Reactive field management style won't change - not sure that it should. Questionable ethics still haunt URI at high levels, but Wall Street has much higher tolerance for ethical scandals compared to 1990s.

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
