- You'll be working close to 60 hours a week and depending on the branch you work at, you could be working Sundays. But Mon-Sat for sure.
- You get the amount of holidays off as you do now, at first. Once you get to the airport, you don't get any holidays off PERIOD.
- For the work that you do (55+ hours) the pay is not enough. They say you'll make anywhere from $34,000 - $37,000 in your first year (well at least in California they do) but that's sort of hard to do. I worked my ass off and got a lot of bonuses and made about $37K my first year, but trust me, it's really hard to do that.
- You'll be working with the biggest A-Hole customers - imagine trying to rent a POS to a guy who just got into an accident and has to pay his $1000 deductible... not going to be in the best mood when you talk to him.
Sounds like with the experience that you have, you could land a pretty good sales job that pays base plus commission. Look into a bank job or with ADP or pharm sales... it's also hard and a lot of hours (not as much as Enterprise) and they pay you pretty well... better than Enterprise and (from the sounds of it) your current job.
That's my 2 cents... and this is coming from almost 3 years of experience with Enterprise. |
You might be right, they may not hire anyone without a college degree, but I already had my phone interview and work with a guy right now that works at Enterprise full time as an accountant, not being cocky but more or less assertive, I believe I am a shoe in already based on my sales and customer service background. Was told it will be $35,000 to start off and Sundays offs and Saturday will be 9am to 12 noon, course I’m taking it with a grain of salt and being careful just for the simple fact that I hate to leave a place that I have seniority and so much leeway now to one that I will dislike more.
I should have just taken it as a hint that I know someone who works for Enterprise as an accountant and have to work at Sears at the same time; I suppose that’s why he needs to supplement his income. LOL
I am also looking into banking, I don’t mind starting off as a Personal Banker, banking hours and holidays might be a good perk.
