Job was enjoyable, but no stability
Branch Manager (Former Employee) – London, ON – 9 May 2018
I enjoyed my time with Hertz but have some reservations about how they manage on a corporate level.
They have changed lanes numerous times on overall brand development, having opened up numerous new branches just to turn them into "Agent" locations.

unprofessional
Sales and Service associate (Current Employee) – Calgary, AB – 1 May 2018
working for a company that never has inventory to rent all the time and getting yelled at customers for something thats not your fault is frustrating and leads to a great turn over in the company.
Poor managment
Remarketing Sales Representative (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 7 April 2018
Typically the company is not bad, however the management in my department was very bad.
The hardest part of the job was being micromanaged with little or no guidance.
The people working there are generally nice.

VSA, Vehicle service attendant (Former Employee) – Montréal, QC – 23 March 2018
Started off good and seems like a good environment,but shortly later on ,At times the management would go on power trips and inforce their will. Employees opinions were held to a very low standard. Atmosphere became toxic between employees and management. Nothing was ever truly done to mend the situation.
it was a nice place to work

Assistant Controller (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 2 March 2018
I enjoyed and learned a lot while working in the company. The management of the company is very good and culture at work place is very friendly. The hardest part of the work was to assist auditors particularly during month end when we have to do so many things with tight deadlines. Otherwise I always enjoyed the work.
Fun start up
Management Trainee (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 15 January 2018
Great place to work, fun and energetic environment.
The opportunity to meet new people. Your day is never usually the same and management provides good support to ensure you have all the tools to succeed. Really enjoyed working there.

You WILL get fired for stupid reasons
Vehicle Shuttler (Former Employee) – Toronto Pearson International Airport, ON – 2 January 2018
Overall was a decent job with nobody breathing down your neck.
Worked at the Toronto Airport distribution center as a driver.
Was accused of stealing a vehicle and in the process of proving them wrong, I was terminated conveniently right before my probation ended.
The only white guy at the location should be fired for incompetence.

Outside Territory Sales Rep (Current Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 7 November 2017
Poorly managed in Canada...Your really have to question the Standards that are in place by Upper Management.
Some people are in positions that they are not really qualified to be in.
They are in them by the wrong reasons.

Customer Service/Driver (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 20 October 2017
dead end job for anyone. managers are fired regularly. immigrants have taken over and hardly speak English
managers of a particular ethnic group favor their own people and give them promotions and easier jobs

enjoyable work place
Equipment mechanic (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 19 October 2017
A typical day working at hertz. would take a machine into the shop that came back from rent. inspect it for faults if faults are found follow steps and procedures to repair the faults on the machine. the most enjoyable part of the job would be the environment and employees. the management was good always there when i had concerns and questions about something. they always had a reasonable answer. what i have learned is communication is key for success.
Pros
occasional free lunches. health benefits
Cons
salary

High stress environment
CUSTOMER SALES REPRESENTATIVE (Current Employee) – Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport – 29 September 2017
At first I loved going in to work fir Hertz, but management isn't around all the time when we need them, one of them has treats me like an idiot since I first started and hasn't been very nice towards me and has made it apparent. We've lost a lot of employees due to not being paid enough for what we do, being verbally abused by clients sometimes physically and management not helping or never taking the side of the employee.
