Nothing

Cons of working at United Rentals

The constant uphill battle about truck safety when all management does is throw safety in our face. At the end of the day it’s all about the numbers to my them look good.

Pros of working at United Rentals

I like being a solutions provider and helping customers complete complex tasks. I like finding new business and “putting meat on the table.”

Cons of working at United Rentals

I don’t like how unorganized our office is and we can barely provide our basic products lately. I don’t like the ever changing sales metrics that seem to change weekly. I don’t like selling products that I know we won’t be able o provide.
