Great for self motivated people
The car rental industry is fast paced and always changing. You must be willing to change your daily plans on a dime and be prepared for curve-balls. This is a great place to work is you can work on your own and show the benefits of your hard work.
Fast pace environment.
Had a long career with Avis Budget Group with continuous promotions that were earned with hard work. The most enjoyable part of the job was providing a safe and reliable product for the customer from the Supply chain and maintenance department.
Pros
Manager benefits
Company policy and procedures change frequently based on the managements mood.
The self storage division was not supported very well by upper management as it was not having fluctuations daily in rental rates or occupancy. Avis Budget is focused on the vehicle rental side of the business which is the area of familiarity for management. During peak vehicle rental times it is very fast moving and competitive. Most of the front line and support staff are under paid and there is a a poor ratio of managers to staff which puts a huge workload on the managers.
Good place to work with alot of great clientelle
Nice, relaxed place to work with amazing coworkers and clientele. Lots to keep you busy from renting out/checking-in vehicles, checking for damages, cleaning of vehicles and lots of other things to do and learn throughout the day.

They need to pay correctly
As a manager you expect more involvement and appreciation if there are results. You need to prepare your self to wait a long time to get recognized here. Unless you know someone.
The biggest concern is the salary. Budget needs to look around and see that what these people who are willing to work with frontline employees and willing to lead by example can get from other companies.
Unless you are working on the Airport there is no way to make up the gap from the incentive program, whatever anyone saying. I saw many people coming and going as a manager and no one ever been satisfied with the program. Very sad.

Stressful working environment with no supports and poor management
A typical day at work is answering calls from customers around British Columbia, generally dealing with reservations and complaints. There is poor management, with little to no education in business management. Advancement is earned through friendships, not on merit. High turnover with same bottom 5 positions as they are over worked, underpaid, and undervalued. Expect to work weekends with no time off, ever.
Unpaid overtime, no lunch breaks, labour laws are not followed here. If you are someone who is independent and follow a moral compass, this position is not for you.

Fun, fast paced and leaning curve as customer service experience.
Wages were not enough for cost of living in 2015. Not bad as part time but as full time, you can't run your bread and butter with lower wages.
Fleet drivers and expediters were getting the lowest wage rates while Rental agents were getting Salary+ sales commission.

Pros
Learning new cars functions, tech-advancement and
Cons
Lower wage rates.
Do yourself a favour and work so where else
Worked there for a year before I couldn’t take it anymore.. managers only hire old people in order to take advantage of them ...cut my commission and work hours for no reason and out of no where.. pay is terrible... switched positions hoping it’d be better but it was the same bs... was often held 2+ hours (against my will) after my shift ended and and was paid nothing more than minimum wage for the extra time
