- Top-Notch Benefits Package : Enjoy PTO, holiday pay, health, dental, vision coverage, and a 401K to set you up for the future right from day one.
- Unlimited Growth Potential : Score huge bonus opportunities and climb the ladder quickly—typically our trainees step into management roles in 3-6 months!
What You'll Bring:
- Customer Service Savvy : You've got that knack for making people smile—whether from retail gigs, campus jobs, or volunteer work.
- Sales Skills : Experience closing deals or persuading others? Bring it on!
- Leadership Vibes : If you've led a team, club, or project (even in school or extracurriculars), that's a win—professional experience is a plus but not required.
- Eager to Learn : A positive attitude and hunger to grow in a fast-paced environment.
- Basics Covered : At least 18 years old, with a clean driving record over the last 3 years (some exceptions apply), and the ability to pass a background check and drug screen.
Your Day-to-Day Adventures:
- Team up with managers to keep our rental agencies humming and handle the big-picture operations.
- Keep an eye on operational departments to ensure everything runs like a well-oiled machine.

- Help track daily inventory—both hands-on and digital—to stay ahead of the game.
- Boost sales by promoting add-ons like extra insurance, GPS, or vehicle upgrades.
- Handle opening and closing routines, including security protocols to keep things safe.
- Tackle office essentials: Answer calls, order supplies, photocopy, and field everyday questions.
- Whip up reports and log your daily wins to keep everyone in the loop.
- Solve customer puzzles—like explaining charges, handling vehicle issues, or giving directions—with a smile.
- Foster a collaborative vibe by jumping in to help fellow agents, nearby locations, or other teams when needed.
