Pros
COMPANY CAR! It is as advertised, you have an all expense paid company car(insurance, almost any model within last 12 months except premium/luxury cars). All location managers get free gas at any Hertz airport location nationwide. Major plus!!! And u get the freedom to switch cars at your leisure. No limit to miles,gas, or amount of times u can switch ur car! I was pulling up in something brand new every other day! Also, there is a chance to advance your career due to opportunity across the company all over the nation between Hertz/Dollar Thrifty/etc. Also great chance to network & interact w/ renter's from diverse backgrounds & the higher ups of major corporations if you're at an airport location.
Cons
The pay is a little subpar for the amount of work you do, but it's an entry level mgmt position. Simply putting it, this job needs to pay between $50-60k. U can expect to make right @ $38k/yr. The schedule is a beast. Please be ready, it is 24/7/365 operation. Don't get comfortable with a particular schedule, it changes monthly. The "normal hours" shifts are reserved for mgrs primarily by seniority. As a rookie LM, expect to work 3pm until 1 or 2am Thur-Monday. Also, you have to come in on your day off, unpaid, for any and all training/team meetings. Which causes you to lose between 1-3 off days per month on average for the year. Overall, u get good experience and a pretty decent resume builder. But expect to wear many different hats, manage a staff with extremely high turnover & put out a gazillion fires. Weird part is, for the biggest perk being able to drive any new car with free unlimited gas......The turnover for the Location mgr position is astronomical. They advertise this position every 90 days. Lol
