Until I saw my first paycheck, which showed an hourly wage of $10.14.
I thought I will be fainting.
The paycheck was barely enough to pay my student loan! Having a bachelors degree and working for almost min. wage ($7.25)?
I'm currently looking for another job, because Hertz lied about the salary!
Turns out I'm not the only one who was deceived, but all other MT's with whom I'm currently attend the training course.
Is there any law that holds Hertz liable for lying and deceiving? On the interview they should've said that base is $21,000 + with the 10 hr mandatory overtime will bring you to 29K, I would've never waisted my time and their time.
Yet they try to teach you business ethics. What a joke! |
ERAC did the same thing to me - $30,000 a year salary. What they didn't tell me until after I accepted the position was that was based on a 49.5 hour work week (which really turned out to be a 55-60 hour work week). They also said a typical day was from 8am-6pm, with a one hour lunch. All of the branches in my Area opened at 7am, which means a typical day was 645am-700pm if you count the car shuttling we had to do after hours, with NO LUNCH. Had they told the truth, I would have known what I was getting into and told them no thanks.
