Vantaggi

-It looks good on your resume. -It's a job. -My coworkers were generally cool people to work with. -You get to drive some nice cars . -If you're good at sells, you can advance quickly.

Svantaggi

-This company only cares about one thing, sales. The term "management trainee" is quite deceptive, it should be called "sales trainee." You learn some management skills, but this is a sales job first and foremost. You are under serious pressure to sell their damage waivers, fuel options and car upgrades. You can actually be fired if you can't reach sales goals three months in a row as an MT within one year. You can have excellent management and customer service skills, but if aren't a good seller, you will not advance. You pretty much have to be a slick, manipulative talker with no shame to succeed with this company. Your goal literally is to extract as much money anyway you legally can from everyone that walks into your branch. This job is seriously only a couple steps above a sleazy car salesman. -The pay absolutely sucks. There are fast food workers that make more and don't have the added pressures this position entails. -Constantly short on vehicles to rent out. -55 hours a week minimum. -Dealing with angry customers. -Have to wear a dress shirt/suit and tie. -You're basically an overworked counter salesman + a car washer + a chauffeur + an outside salesman + a car delivery person. If you have a college degree, aren't completely into sales, have any ounce of shame and want to look at yourself in the mirror every morning without disgust, run away and don't look back. Trust me.

Vantaggi

No micromagement , You earn incentives when customers forget to fill the gas , also when the car was damaged and they accept to pay , managers are nice , deal with Karen and difficult customers sometimes , rush hours where there is no room for cars but it is worth it

Svantaggi

Fluctuate schedule you might work middle shift today , tomorrow you work early morning shift like 5AM and next day you work closing shift 1 to 9 PM. It is just bad for me because I just experienced personal household problem so I have only one car in the household so I had to leave

Vantaggi

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Svantaggi

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
