Pros

Work from home, that's it, but you will begin to hate whatever room this is all being done in.

Cons

Horrible training. I feel so bad for the customers that have to call anyone in customer service with this company. There are numerous kind of calls one can get working for uhaul customer service and let me tell you, their 1 week of training videos does nothing to prepare you for the calls you are forced to take WAY TOO EARLY. It's too much information squeezed into 1 week and then you just throw your agents to the wolves and expect them to solve issues themselves when they have NO IDEA what they are doing. Uhaul has a help chat you can go to when you need hell but that is very inadequate when you have an angry customer in your ear who refuses to be put on hold. I've literally cried in frustration because of the lack of training and help I get.

Pros

Good for gaining quick customer service experience, and the customer-facing side of the job keeps you busy.

Cons

Zero Work-Life Balance: Your personal life is virtually non-existent here. Between working incredibly long hours without overtime pay and the constant pressure to be connected, you can never truly clock out. Unrealistic Availability Expectations: The owner (Joe) requires your personal phone number to be available to anyone, at any time. You are expected to answer work calls during your off-hours, completely erasing the boundary between work and home. Lack of Management Support: U-Haul focuses entirely on the customer at the absolute expense of the employee. Management routinely allows customers to curse at and verbally abuse frontline associates without ever stepping in or backing up their staff. Flawed Technology: The internal booking and rental systems crash on a weekly basis. This leaves associates stranded, forced to repeatedly apologize to frustrated customers because the tech simply doesn't work. Poor Communication: Corporate-level communication is completely dysfunctional, making it incredibly difficult to get answers or support when things go wrong on the floor.
