As a manager, I can tell you we don't have meetings on how to control people leaving. Our talent pool is very deep right now and most of the people that leave do not have the talent. This job takes a certain kind of person. Someone that has to listen to customer's shit, clean cars when the weather sucks (in a suit), maybe stay until 6:30 when we close at 6, etc. The last post said you work 56 hrs/wk. As a group, we actually average just over 50. As an MT, you are also guaranteed to work close to your home, so no commute. Bottom line, you learn to run a business, from the ground up. I don't know of anyone who has ever said working for ERAC hurt them in any way. Yes, some days are tough, but running your own deal is never easy. I recommend you try it out, if nothing else, I promise the work experience will only help you. As a manager, I am on target to make 70K, which isn't bad for renting cars. You may end up hating it. If so, find something else, you're young. Personally, I love it and I know many people that do, you just won't see them on this site too often. Good luck. | the reason you don't know about meetings to prevent people from leaving is because you are only a MANAGER and not an AREA MANAGER and above. as far as people that leave simply do not have the talent is pure bullshit. some people yes just can not cut it at enterprise but most are better then that place and find out quickly when they leave how much better they are, yourself would probably be included. as far as making 70k, I doubt it but just for argument's sake, so what if you do. you are an employee there for 5 years... I left erac after a 3 year stint, 1.8 as a manager. i made 55k when i left. I got a job in pharma and immediately got a base of 68k with a on average comm every quarter of 7k. company car and gas and ine i do not have to pay 200 a month for. paid cell phone, paid internet, 6% match on my 401k, 3 % of my salary at year end and american express card, 25 days vacation and 35-40 hour workweek, no weekends and a few nights a year. if my math is correct I clear 100k in monetary compensation and all the perks add up to about 20k... you do the math on your end but there are plenty better jobs out there so have fun being mediocre making 70k renting cars when you could do a heck of alot better and sell a dream to misguided young college grads..... if i was still at erac i would be making 60k if was lucky and working 60 hour weeks wondering when the nightmare would end..... THAT IS THE TRUTH  |
