Pros

The company is growing and has a great employee stock program. The benefits and pay are great. The company's finances are steady and consistent.

Cons

Herc has limited positions that are not "clock-in"/"clock-out". They culture is very oldschool, with little oppertunity for growth. You start on the counter and either go into sales or operations. Their corporate headquarters is located in Florida and doesn't offer a hybrid schedule for 90% of the workforce, which limits the quality of personnel and diversity. The managment at each branch lacks grammer and overal emotional intelligence.

Pros

Unfortunately there are no pros other than compensation to working at Herc Rentals in Tupelo Mississippi.

Cons

Micromanagement from a new manager who's never had a management role or any training Daily harassment from co workers Bullying- constant bullying from management Poor Communication- lack of open transparent communication. Management has a group chat with his buddies within the team. Favoritism- Management would show favoritism to his buddies within the team for promotions, assignments and recognition to higher ups. Lack of Career Development Opportunities - This is most important! As mentioned with favoritism, Management will only promote and recognize his buddies leaving others in the dark. Resistance to change - Management is not open to any ideas from team.
