The managers are very supportive and your well taken care off.And when it comes to the workers, they're mostly very welcoming specialy if you are new to the company.
Supervisor (Former Employee) – New Zealand – 20 December 2018
Location team were good however upper management left lot to be desired. Company brought over US executive which culled the NZ executive team and led from Australia, they also brought over a UK manager who was a complete bully to all staff; whether performers or not.
Great team to work with, Inclusive and focused approach of the management brings out the best out of each employee. Career paths are great and lots to learn.
Not getting trained properly, lovely staff, poor management, very long hours, loved helping customers and learning new cultures and language's from tourists, also you get some real horrible people well which can get quite stressful.
Car rentals, office administration, car grooming. Staff friendly with good sense of humour. Management usually reasonable. Workplace culture usually positive. Hardest part is long on-call hours with average wages. Friendly and fun work environment.
Management was really great and one of the best I've had. They work around your school hours and family too. Pay was a little less but the management and general work place was so good, I didn't mind it.
12 hour shifts all about vehicles and their capabilities. Tourism Management always on hand workplace all cultures treated with respect and got on famously with each other
Ideal job suitable for students depending on shift roster. NZ Avis and Budget staff often lead the world in sales.
CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT (Former Employee) – Auckland Airport, Auckland – 19 February 2017
Hand over from previous shift employees, daily banking transactions to reconcile. Preparation of V.I.P. customer arrivals vehicles and keys. Customer service and completion of fuel reconciliation sheets during quiet times. Ensure office is clean in particular customer line of sight. I learned more about pushing my sales targets as top sales agent in New Zealand, Australia, UK and USA in 2012 first quater of the year. I also learned how good I was and that I could exceed in anything. Management was an area I would have progressed further into as a career. I decided to complete my BA at university.
Pros
International networks with Avis and Budget
Cons
Shift work and flight delays meant longer shift into the morning, minimum wages, exploitation
Avis Budget Group is a fun work place with very supportive staff & management The hardest part of the job was leaving great people behind and the workload however I needed to move forward and could not settle for comfort.
After working for this company for 3 months it is obvious that the management is letting this branch down by not listening to staff concerns hence the low morale and high turnover of staff throughout all areas. The lack of management has led to good staff leaving and new staff not getting training as required for each role in the branch. There is also a lack of judgement when it comes to staff that do not have the mental capacity to perform which leads to disharmony in the workplace
Claims (Former Employee) – East Coast – 23 May 2012
The values and integrity at ABG is non-existent. All of the actions from managers on up to the CEO are extremely dishonest and they will do whatever possible to trash you over and cover themselves. You can do a great job yet, they'll fabricate information to intentionally sink you and then pride themselves on their actions.
They'll even go so far as to tell their little "stories" they made up about you to other employees.
Budget truck: "Moving up in Truck Rental" is their motto. That's because when you're at the bottom of the barrel, there's no where to go but up!
