One is Chestertown and the other 1878. I remember when the airport location opened, and Pass said it would be 80 cars in no time...yeah right. As far as I know, with Hertz there, there was no chance of that. And hey, the one man operation there gets to take their lunch never. 16 would always say to just call over to get someone to cover, but either everyone was on the road or they had no cars. Chestertown, on the other hand, had no business being there. Just because there is a bodyshop and a small college in a podunk town an hour north of Easton there should be an office? I would sit for hours in a non-heated space wating. So you have this branch, and where do you employees commute from? Salisbury. It's a career opportunity they say, good place to show what you can do. What you can do is take a 7-6 work day and add a two hour commute in you own car on each end. Needless to say, I quit soonafter. Like Joe, I am now done looking at this site. It has been over a year since I left ERAC, and I have never looked back. I do miss some of the friends I made over the years, but I don't miss the hours. Running your own business is much better here in Boston (but the winters do suck) How can you talk about Enterlies as a "ethical" company when the openly encourage employees to go out after work to "happy hours" but fire them for dwi's? Underage interns were also passed drinks from the AM/BM's during my time with the company. On a second note, I have never met an employee who ranked in the top 10 on the matrix that wasn't super-shady. I remember one guy at 1840 (when we were in the terminal) who would send every contract to the garage with full boat on it, having never mentioned it to the customer. I was shady too, but that was the accepted practice, and once you made it to the matrix lunch, it was all smiles and handshakes. Ghost sell-ups were the easiest and they are no more shady than booking deals for cars that you don't have and aren't probably going to get. Selling pre-paid gas was also a racket that we had going for a while. On the topic of Pass and Tom for a second. Tom was a good kid. I didn't work with the company when he was fired, but the three employees who put up with the most shit while I was there were Tom, Jon, and Ian. Pass was a bad manager, but he was an okay guy. I had a lot of fun on that trip to AC with Brian and Dave B. As to Hunger getting the best of the action in Salisbury, I say more power to him. The only time I liked being at 1816 was when Khalid was the manager. It wasn't long after he left for greener pastures that I was forced out of the position that I had earned and I started on the long path to resignation. For all those e-chimps who want to quit, call HR the same day you put in your two weeks. Don't give them a chance to talk you out of it. There is no other job in the world that they make you clean cars outside in a suit in the show/rain/sweltering summer heat. |
