Prepare to sacrifice your life!

Agent (Former Employee) - Cairns QLD - 6 February 2020

Great job if you’re sick of your life. You’ll work every weekend and up to 18 days straight with closes followed by opens 10pm-6:30am. Plenty of back stabbing to keep you entertained. Try Avis!

Hard work

Car detailer/pick up driver (Former Employee) - Gold Coast QLD - 3 February 2018

This was a very hard place to work as you would never know if you had done something wrong or if the manger was just having a bad day. Nothing was every done to his standards.

Great and capable team. No support from top.

Rental Agent (Current Employee) - Adelaide, SA - 17 May 2015

Hit the ground running, customers are generally easy going and polite, nothing is right for the not happy's. Management at the CEO level is excellent and mindful, local manager, all black and white, creates a lot of stress, gets the job done and protects the P and L. Co workers are polished and professional, and work as a team. I have never experienced the job to hard, if you have a manners you have no issues. We have progressive dinners at our co workers establishment's for all the workers and families to get to know each other. The company has xmas dinners and gathering's in all states, except South Australia, we have to look after ourselves, which is no hassle as the team enjoy our get togethers.

Pros

Uniform supplied

Cons

Work rosters are non supportive of daily life schedules.

Jump behind the counter and find work that needed to be completed, whether it was servicing a customer right away, answering the phone, or taking care of the inventory, supply restock, set up car ready-line, review reservation list, count cash drawer, or keep track of courtesy vehicle movements. I learned a lot about juggling demands, trying to find the best, productive ways to help maintain quality customer service. Learned different ways to communicate with people when there was a language or hearing barrier. I also learned how important it was to read the terms and conditions of an online booking, especially if you paid for a product, and what was included. I was astounded at how many people came to the counter with their reservation number but no clue as to anything else. Then they would get angry with the rental agent, who took the time to explain everything to them. Learning different ways to talk to people when they became angry was important to resolve the tension. Observing the experienced agents successfully resolve these situations was valuable because there was no way to avoid the "angry" customer. Unfortunately, every shift came with them. Our branch manager was good at what she did, doing her best to ensure vehicles met demand at two locations, made time to hear the concerns of her rental agent team, and was always ready to lend a hand at the rental counter. I had tremendous respect for her, as she was doing the job of three people. The team I worked with comprised many personalities, but most -
