Hertz Employee Reviews for Location Manager

"I worked very hard for this company all of 6+ months, working 10-14 hour days consistently with one day off. Much of my shift I worked alone and had to manage the entire facility, including our partner branches, Dollar/Thrifty, from customer issues, vehicle availability, lot inspections, vehicle transport, detail and assisting customers. In essence I did the work of my employees because they were not trained well enough to complete their job or it was not within their job description to participate in such tasked that they refused to work. Favoritism is evident, the company will reward you for tolerance. If you stay with the company long enough and become one of the oldest members you move up in ranking. Its not based on merit, ability, skill, education or any of those things, just if you have stayed around the longest you get to move up in ranks to receive maybe a morning shift, less coaching, maybe a weekend off or get assigned help, grants of vacation and personal days. The worst workers, of course, hide behind the over achievers, stellar employees to avoid accountability and the workload. The low performers get all the good attention for helping, but its just pure laziness. These employee just do not want to work or work with a customer. The people are usually loners and are always on break, the restroom, printing something or running to grab something they left somewhere on the site. Low pay, for $19 an hour but this is only for an 8hr shift, everything else is just labor. Bonuses only go to the GM who pulls in $100K and brags to you about his weekends off, his boat he just bought and how if you stick around for a year you move up in ranks, but only after my favorites reach their full potential. In a nutshell, avoid this company unless it's you last resort for employment, even then you should continue your search."
