1.6I 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.
1.6I wish management empowered people more. At the smaller location I worked at, it was much more laid back and a much more profitable location. We were having fun and making customers happy. We kept them coming back. At the current location, I can't write in black ink without having to get that decision approved. Everything has to be run up the chain and back down the chain. It's a hassle to have to call every manager over me to approve printing off a $25 coupon for someone who had a bad experience. (Hertz doesn't allow employees to give money back to customers) I feel like if I don't contact that chain of command though, I'll be questioned relentlessly about it by all 4 managers that I have right now. Come on guys, we're all adults, let us do our jobs.

Hertz leads the U.S. industry in airport rentals. The company also operates on an international level, with over 8,000 branches in 146 countries around the globe. The Hertz Company was founded in 1918, when Walter L. Jacobs started a car rental business in Chicago with an inventory of a dozen vehicles. Within a few years, the fleet had expanded to 600 cars and the company was making about a million dollars a year.
In 1923, Mr. Jacobs sold the firm to John Hertz, the owner of Yellow Cab. A few years later, Hertz sold the thriving company to the General Motors Corporation. General Motors retained ownership of the company until 1953 and then sold it to the Omnibus Corporation. Omnibus changed the name of the company to the Hertz Corporation in 1954.
The rental car market began to burgeon in 1960 due to the overall growth of the travel industry. Hertz went public in 1997. Although occasionally outstripped by competition, Hertz has held its own and kept its place as the largest airport rental company on the globe.
