Essentially, upper level management did not care for the driver or employee. Any mistakes were pretty much ”death sentences” where one mistake equates to be fired. A liability for management and corporate despised liabilities since it affected the bottom line. Pay issues were common, PTO was at one point had no cap but then a cap was placed to 90 accrued hours per year but we did get paid out the balance after 90 hrs, it is a contracted company working for another, conditions can be dangerous since it is dealing with all sorts of vehicles and sizes, high stress environment due to upper management attempting to maintain numbers and dealing with customers, and a lot more but too much to write sad to say. The only saving grace is that there are some wonderful people that work here since they have no other options really due to their education levels as well as language barriers. Also, 30 min meal breaks that get cut short at times, break had to be monitored like hawks to avoid any slow downs, no benefits offered of any kind, and pay debatable. One major issue is that since everything is based on numbers and if the numbers look low which means a slow day and if there too many people are scheduled management would have to send people home early without any prior warning during their shift. This would happen frequently in the slow months especially. 

The account manager was not trained for his position. He talks like homies with everyone. Cusses and is not professional what so ever. There is a lot of favoritism. Everything is all over the place and there is no order what so ever. The morning supervisor try’s his best to keep everything in order but without the support of the account manager he can not do anything! The account manager tells you something and goes and tells the other something else. It’s like being in high school all over again. The schedules are not done on time & when you don’t show up you get in trouble. How am I suppose to know when I work if I can not see the schedule before I leave work when it should be posted. The account manager allows his favorites to arrive late to work, be no call no shows, and take long lunches. If you complain or show the slightest interest in that you are guaranteed to be fired. This is not a healthy work environment. Also by the way the break room is so disgusting the rug is all dirty, the only microwave we have is filthy and there is mice in the break room. The restroom is less than 2 feet away inside of the breakroom and you get a nasty aroma while you eat. That’s just wrong.  This company does not care what so ever about their employees. This company will hire anyone!! As long as you have a valid drivers license, older than 21 yrs, & a clean driving record you’re good to work for them. If you call corporate it’s useless trust me! Just look for a better job. Anyyyyy job other than this one is way better! You’ll thank me later.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The People, we worked as a team!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some drivers' ethics were out!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment and culture at the company were straightforward, respectful, and drama-free. Everyone focused on doing their job well without unnecessary distractions. It wasn’t about being the “cool place to be,”  it was about getting the work done efficiently and maintaining a peaceful, no-pressure atmosphere. People respected each other's space, and there was a shared understanding that professionalism and accountability mattered. You could come in, do your work, and leave with a sense of accomplishment. That kind of no-nonsense, steady environment made it a great place to work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day for me was consistent and focused. I would clock in as a driver, then begin transporting vehicles through the car wash. After washing, I would thoroughly dry them off and ensure they were clean and presentable. Once that was done, I would drive the vehicles to Palm Springs Airport for drop-off. This process was repeated throughout the entire workday, and I maintained a steady rhythm from start to finish. The structure and flow of the day allowed me to stay focused and efficient in completing my responsibilities.

Hours are changed at a moments notice without warning or consideration for employees who have set schedules. I learned to be observant of the Management staff, to take everything said to you with a grain of salt  and to make your decision from there. Management is Atrocious Beginning with the Hiring Manager down to the Account manager in which both no nothing about the job description. Management doesn't perform any kind of background checks. Where i worked at needed background checks were mandatory and for some reason employees with Federal Crimes were still hired at the airport.  They just want the contracts and don't really care about their employees. Many employees are not pleasant. In fact there have been many altercations with employees fighting and Management did nothing so as to save their contract. the hardest part of the job is actually finding competent Management to speak with along with getting the payment you deserve for hours worked. Never got a correct payment in the time i worked there. The only thing enjoyable is the very few employees that worked as a team and treated each other with respect. The other 95% all were awful. I would NEVER recommend Anyone to work for EDS in ANY workplace.

working at EDS as a driver isn’t bad, but there’s definitely room for improvement. The job itself is very easy, all you do is park the rental cars in the appropriate space. The only thing i would say that’s frustrating is the lack of organization and contradicting rules. A lead will tell you to do something and, once you do it, another lead (or co-worker) will come and tell you that what you did is incorrect. The training at this job is almost non existent, i’ve witnessed some people get thoroughly trained, and other people having to learn everything as they go. Fortunately, however, almost everyone here is friendly and will help you out if you’re ever confused on what to do. There are some people that have a bit of a temper or attitude, but you’ll find that at any job, and it is isn’t that big of a deal to be honest. This job is a good side hustle if you’re looking to make a little extra income, and the fact that you get drive some pretty cool cars (mustangs, challengers, bmws, mercedes’, etc) is a huge plus. If you’re a quick learner, like to work independently, and don’t mind a little disorganization, this is the job for you. 

I do not recommend this place to anyone. Only the strong survive! Management sucks, corporate sucks they are no help. Don’t return phone calls or answer the phone during normal business hours. You’ll be lucky if you get all your breaks. No training, just a hour of showing you how to do it and then your on your own from there, lucky if you have someone working with you but most of the time your by yourself doing the job of about 3 people. With no login information for a tablet so you constantly have to go find someone that can log you in and sometimes that’s about 20 mins after running across a big parking lot of cars just to go inside and hope someone is in there to help you.  No shade in the 100+ degrees plus the heat of the pavement and running cars. No kind of benefits or recognition for good hard work.  I could go on and on. 

I will start off with, in my position, I had no benefits, no PTO no vacation no anything. I had a paycheck every week and that was it, the pay was fairly nice at first and I was given the opportunity for essentially unlimited overtime however AVIS renegotiated my pay with EDS and it dropped by 4/h so, I had to look for greener pastures. The “community” really depends on where they place you, I worked in an area with a lot of rental companies and got stationed with Avis, I loved it, the people were for the most part pretty great, we hung out together after work, all the managers were pretty cool, but that was just where I was stationed. Your experience may vary due to rules you have to follow with other companies you’re stationed at. I didn’t have a ton of communication with my manager except picking up check stubs as it was all left to the on-site manager of wherever you’re placed for the most part.

After the interview , they immediately put me with a supervisor for about 1 hr, then about 3 hours with a trainer.  Both gave conflicting info about where to park the cars. Then there were too many co-workers giving conflicting advice on where to park the cars. Then the equipment ( tabulating phone) failed 3 times and I was reprimanded as if it was my fault.  The culture there, was nobody smiled and said hello to each other- just too busy  and could not speak English. The rules were made for everybody except a managing few. Such as talking on the phone while driving a shuttle van with 12 passengers behind them .  I quit, and the last straw was they gave me someone else's paycheck all because our first names were similar.  So now my bank will bounce my acct. Sure, the job is easy to do - drive and park. But management needs a microscope on them from Corporate.

I just began working for this company and despite HR giving me several numbers to utilize if I ever need help, none of them are ever answered. I have been calling every number given and even some I looked up on Google, trying to get in touch with someone about questions I have and receiving my paycheck, to no avail. My very first day was giving major red flags with HR scheduling me and another new employee to be at work for training at 6am just for nobody to show up until around 8am. Even then, they had no clue who we were or what we were supposed to be doing. We were just thrown into immediately beginning work with no explanations or training. We both tried calling HR before people showed up after we realized we were there alone until people showing up at 8am and of course, received no answer.

Management treated employees the same. Age is not a barrier.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in, find out work specific information, ie what Hertz needed in the garage and where. Do the job; driving clean rentals, parking in the garage and scanning in their parked location and the driving a returned, dirty car back to the washing station. Rinse and repeat until break, two hours, again for two hours 30 minutes, lunch 1/2 hr. 3 hrs 15 min and final break.
