Working at United Rentals in San Antonio, TX: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in San Antonio, TX Area

"I’ve worked with United Rentals since February 2017. Our branch works in the oil field, municipal, construction, mining and water filtration vertical industries. When I started I was the only field sales rep they had. The branch went from making $300,000 to $600,000 within 6 months. They then hired and divided the area. Once the branch was making $1.2m a year later, they bought Baker Corp which added another rep to the mix. Since then the branch has increased to $1.5m and they’ve added 2 more reps, for a total of 5 today. I feel like the company has never looked out for me personally and has given my success away. Our business consists of fluids transfer, storage and filtration. There’s a lot of moving parts to the services we provide and long, hard hours for our technicians and inside personnel. Consequently, there has been a lot of turnover and upset customers due to equipment failure. We are constantly putting out fires, apologizing to our customers and issuing credits to retain the business we have. The company has also cut my area to a point where the only verticals are oilfield and small municipalities. There has been a lot of competition enter our market who can offer much lower rates and are in close proximity to the oilfield. United must maintain higher rates due to high overhead and shareholders. Customers are also purchasing owned equipment driving demand down as well. In short, my goal is to find a company that appreciates and rewards hard work and success"
