Being employed with United Rentals has really turned my life around and made my future look a lot brighter. I feel more secure knowing I have a great and stable career. United Rentals is hands down the best place I have ever worked and I am definitely planning on retiring here.
After leaving the military, I worked for several large companies. None has valued my military experience like United Rentals. This company lets me use what I learned in the military while teaching me new skills with its robust training programs. United Rentals truly has the same “family” atmosphere I felt in the military that can make veterans feel at home.
As an Army veteran, like most I struggled to find a career once my service was complete. United Rentals has provided me with an opportunity to have a career where my values and service are appreciated. I have been able to advance from a Technician to my most recent promotion to Branch Manager.
I got the opportunity to work for United Rentals through the STEP program. I am grateful that United Rentals truly cares about their service members, and it shows. From the leadership and teamwork to the overall work environment, it was a great transition. They truly make you feel like a member of the team.
This is the largest rental company in the industry, which offers employees great opportunities. United Rentals acknowledges service members better than any company I have ever worked. In the military, teamwork was vital in accomplishing our missions and I have applied that here.
It is a great place to work.
United Rentals is a company with a great team mentality. Service members will feel right at home with the ‘let’s get the mission done’ atmosphere. Excellence is rewarded with promotion opportunities, especially for those willing to relocate (which vets are used to doing).
I started as a Road Technician and was able to use the skills that were taught to me through my tenure in the military to become an engaged and positive employee. Possessing this type of attitude has led the pathway for my career as a successful Service Manager, and now Branch Manager.
What I like most about working at United Rentals is the opportunity it affords me to grow. In the military, I was trained as a Mechanic and when I went to NCO school, I was trained on many management techniques. I was hired as a Mechanic and have moved up through many positions to Branch Manager.
I started my career in United Rentals about 4 years ago as an Equipment Associate, I am now a Team Lead for our Sales Development Program. The thing I love about United Rentals is that your career can grow as fast as you want it to with hard work and dedication. These are values I learned from the Military and my Military parents. UR cares about its Veterans like no company I have ever worked for and encourages you at every corner to get involved to change for the better. I love this company just as much as I loved serving my country. Hoooorahhhhhhh.
