Wasnt bad
Vehicle service attendant (Former Employee) – Saskatoon, SK – 18 March 2019
Good job to have but not work towards, long application process with long computer training people end up cheating on anyway seems pointless for basic knowledge, if you can get past the application form it can take up to a week to hear back and shifts can switch from early days to late-night etc
Pros
Sometimes free lunches rarely
Cons
Long hours, summer vacay is a no go unless your managment
Basic customer service workplace
Customer Service Representative (CSR) (Current Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 13 March 2019
- A typical day can be very tiring due to the 11 hour shifts, and the lack of consistency
- did not learn anything new, it was all basic customer service skills that I had acquired
- I appreciate the one on one conversations you can have with the customers and build that relationship
- Management at the location I work at is very poor, with little to no problem solving skills.
- Poor workplace culture teaches you to judge the customers before hand.
- The hardest part of the job is working with impatient and ignorant coworkers.
- The most enjoyable part of the job is providing the best possible service for the customers and making their day.

Pros

Cons
Unreasonable hours
Fun workplace and great team
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 20 February 2019
Working at the airport location is a lot of fun - the team there is great, and you easily start to recognize the regular clients that come in every week, and start a good rapport with them.
Management is also great. Very easy-going, and always lets you know what you can improve on.
Getting commission on top of the hourly wage is a definite bonus, and you can earn a decent amount if you work hard for it.

Driver (Former Employee) – Richmond, BC – 12 February 2019
The company is very corrupt, They play alot of favoritism and don't allow others to move up from their positions. Few incidents where employees working under the table with union and company to complete an agreement.
Sales Only
Customer Sale & Services Representative (Current Employee) – Regina, SK – 18 January 2019
Management Demand sales. That is very understandable and it also gives good learning experience.

Receptionist (Current Employee) – Kelowna, BC – 9 January 2019
I have learned so many things like computer skills. It improved my fluency in English, typing speed etc. Hertz was a good place to work all staff members were friendly, helpful and cooperative.
Salary is good
Rental coordinator (Former Employee) – Fort McMurray, AB – 4 January 2019
salary is good but lack of support from management when you
need them the most. no job security, politics. it has become a family club, if you're not part of it you'll suffer but if your part or friends you're ok but as soon as you turn your back they will talk.

Worst working experience in Canada
Management Trainee (Former Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 8 November 2018
I have worked all over Canada with amazing experiences and co-workers but working with Hertz in Burnaby(North) has been a very bad experience. It's not at all a managemt trainee job. It's a sales Job where you are selling scams. Secondly, the worst bunch of co-workers I have ever worked with. Snobbish and bossy attitudes for no reason at all. Secondly, you are not at all appreciated for the amount of hard work you have put in. Rather there will be 10 fingers pointing at you for a single mistake even when you have only finished a month and half or so. Lot of politics and groupism at work. The worst work culture I've ever experienced. People working in the same positions act as if they own you for being a new joinee for no reason. Its a workplace where people will step on you, to go ahead something that I had never experienced in Canada before.
Pros
None
Cons
Selling lies, long hours and snobbish co-workers
Good work environment when we had vehicles available to rent.
Counter Service Representative (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 16 October 2018
In my time there, I didn't enjoy my work environment because there staff was taken over by reps in senior positions that got too comfortable with being there that they looked down on and took advantage of new staff coming in because they didn't have seniority.
Fredericton Location is horrible
Vehicle Service Attendant (Former Employee) – Fredericton, NB – 6 October 2018
I would work for Hertz again but not for the Fredericton NB location. Bad staff both of them are very nasty & you have to work every weekend with no appreciation. I would not recommend work at this spot. Also the wash bay was full of mold.
Pros
Drive different cars
Cons
Staff
Relaxed work environment.
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 26 September 2018
Union Station location is good in a way that provides it's employees with benefits within a unionization. It is a friendly environment in the sense that employees can easily talk to their managers without feeling intimidated.
Excellent Workplace
BRANCH ADMINISTRATOR (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 17 September 2018
I covered a Maternity Leave position for 16 months and in that time I found Hertz Equipment to be a fantastic place to work; great people and a wonderful Team Environment. Everybody helped each other and I never hesitated to ask for help or ask questions as so many people took the time to listen and help me understand things I wasn't clear about or knew about (Rental questions mostly). I was told, at the end of my contract, that if they could have kept me they would have. I would recommend Hertz Equipment to anyone who was looking for a superb working environment.
Pros
Monthly BBQ's; Helpful at all times; Positive atmosphere
Laid back work environment where as long as you work effectively manaemtn stays out of your hair
