It all depends on what you are looking to get out of your "E"perience. I will admit companies like to see it on your resume, and most will acknowledge it is a good stepping stone. However, you will swallow your pride daily because you will not be respected by many of the people you deal with. Not everyone who works for ERAC or rents from ERAC is bad, but you will encounter your winners as in any other job. The pay is very bad for someone with a college degree, but I guess not too terrible for the type of work it is. This is merely a retail job with sales, customer service, car detailing, and taxi cab driving mixed in. Although sometimes you will be janitor because ERAC does not hire cleaning crews for its branches. The majority of your time will be spent writing tickets, trying to sell ERAC coverage, and driving customers here or there. Depending on your branch, you will either be very busy all day every day or have spurts here and there. I can tell you you will be at work more than 50 hours a week usually from 7:00AM until 630PM or later depending on the branch's hours of operation. I do not know how they treat their interns. The hours might not be as harsh in order to not scare too many people off. You will also be wearing professional business clothing (white shirt/tie) every day no matter the weather, so if you enjoy cleaning cars in these clothes, you might enjoy this job. Though I am being somewhat sarcastic, I still think a lot of people need to work for ERAC for a few months to really appreciate their next job (see my other posts on this). However, this is a terrible job to make a career of. I think you should interview with both internship opportunities and then make a decision. As far as a recommendation goes, ERAC will merely state the dates you were employed there if a reference were to call them. I could suggest you take the intership and network with all your customers to find out what they do and if their companies are hiring, but I honestly could not in good faith recommend this job to anyone.
