Pros

I was in the lucky position to have been offered 2 jobs at the same time, Rentalcars.com and another company. I used Glassdoor and read so many reviews on both companies to help make my decision and i am 100% confident that i made the correct choice. I love that there is a casual dresscode - no need to spend extra money on clothes you only wear for work. Free breakfast Free fruit Free hot drinks 2 annual staff parties with free bar :) Diverse working enviroment. Relaxed atmosphere - left to get on with your work. Regular company meetings where we get knowledge about the buisness, what went well, places from improvement and the new plan going forward. Staff perks and discount app Perkbox Location

Cons

It is a fast paced enviroment at times but sometimes changes occur and and there is a feeling that there may have been breakdown in communication as it can feel like people don't know what they are doing or what is fully expected of them. The first 2 weeks of training in the classroom is very good and you learn a lot quickly, then you are just thrown into the phones, email, livechat and it can be overwhelming. There needs to be something between classroom and on the job training because although staff are available for support you loose confidence that has been built up in the class room and can feel out of your depth. Sometimes it can feel that some management are quite 'clicky' which makes it difficult if you feel you are not getting enough support and need more help. Dispite the cons listed i still feel i made the correct decision joining Rentalcars.com and i love my job. There are

Pros

I love working at Rentalcars.com. I have worked here for several years now and seen the company change immensely. From a small company of 400 people to the leader within car hire with almost 2000 employees. Working with people from all over the world is amazing, I have made friends for life and learned so much about different cultures. The facilities we work in are fabulous. Newly refurbished building, free breakfast, coffee, fruit and subsidized lunch and good benefits. I have learned so much working here, both about the business and myself. I feel like my voice matters and I have been given the opportunity to develop my skills and progress within the company in line with what I want to do.

Cons

Cannot think of any cons of the top of my head. Whenever I have any concerns I know I can talk to my manager who listens.
