The fact that the management miss leads people. Every single person that works in 45 hears that they are about to popped, they are the best employee ever, and they are a year away from 6 figures. It’s not true. Management is so focused on selling people on the opportunities that Enterprise offers that they tell everyone the same story. Once a group of people talk about what their AM, BM, or even RVP told them or don’t get the things they are promised they become disenfranchised.
The other problem is Management attempts to keep people working at a ridiculously low wage by telling them that there is no better opportunity out there. That is a lode of crap. Enterprise is a great opportunity for some people, there is no point in denying that. However some people value free time, a job that has a little prestige, or travel. What I mean is some people will value things that Enterprise simply can not give there for Enterprise is not the right job for them. Scare tactics don’t work for long. Telling employees that the people who left could not hack it or are going to fail miserably and come crawling back dose not help anyone. It just serves as an example of the region wide insecurity that is rampant in group 45 today.
The final problem is the pay. When someone is desperate for a job Enterprise looks like a life saver (we take almost anyone). After sometime however one discovers (or the job market picks up) that they are working for almost minimum wage. The promise of money is only couple of years off but it is not near enough to touch. The incentive programs offered by Enterprise are not enough make to make the MT position competitive. My suggestion would be to offer a bonus for making elite for sales, maybe not for the first month but for back to back months or something along those lines. I’m not talking about a massive bonus but something to make the job seem more competitive with the market. The way I see it the more people who make it to elite the better the company dose.
I love Enterprise but I’m not blind I know we have to change. I would welcome any serious responses to my complaints.
