I had the worst experience when I rented from hertz Chelmsford Shavawhn is the worst manager and her customer service skills are nonexistent as long as she works for hertz I'll never do business with them again and I will encourage everyone I know not to do business with them as well in addition same applies to the Randolph location the manager China, as long as she works for hertz I will never do business with hertz again!! These two individuals will surely put hertz out of business very soon!

Hertz is very lucky to have Gil West at the helm. He is a leader that drives excellence and performance while balancing care for the people. His innovative thinking and approach to business and the operation will take Hertz to the next level. One of the best if not THE best leader I had the privilege to work for. Congratulations Gil!!

Hertz is in good hands, and fortunate to have a servant leader that will move the business and value the people! Congrats my friend and Hertz this is exciting for you. You get a pass on pausing graduation! 🫣

What a win for Hertz! Congratulations Gil! It’s amazing to reflect on the impact you had on us at Delta Air Lines - my approach to measuring success can truly be attributed to your leadership. Bravo!

Unless he cleans house, he will not fix a failing business culture. Poor department leadership will continue. Each department head only has concerns for their own P&L not the overall fiscal health of the company and it's future. They will be back in Bankruptcy again within 5 to 7 years and 3 more CEO's...... it's  a never ending pattern.

Well that didn't take long to name a successor, he was warming up in the bull pen. Good luck to Mr. West. The over/under on his tenure is 18 months. Let's hope the line is wrong and he can put some air back in tires of the place.
