And if you break down a BM's salary on an hourly basis, it's not all that much. How many ARM's or BMs have you seen that are truly happy and "completely satisfied" with their jobs? Answer that. I think ex-ERACers come on here not because they regret leaving or have a love affair with Enterprise. I think they come on here to see how far they've come from where they started.

The problem with Ecars is that it’s not a conducive work environment for a large demographic of front line employees. For those out there that either live at home with their parents or share accommodations with roommates (i.e. rent less then $500/month) and are single, then Ecars can be a great place to work. Although, if you have a girlfriend-wife / boyfriend-husband and or you live alone (rent at least $800/month in GTA) then working for Ecars can be a nightmare. The hours the industry demands (and it is the industry, not the company) of its employees are excessive and the comparative compensation is inadequate.
I'm not sure if Ecars can ever have "great" retention but it does need to reassess its approach on this issue. The company looses hundreds of thousands a year (in C2 alone) on lost retention. If they reinvested that money into its employees (wage increase, comprehensive incentive program where not just the top 3% get recognized, etc) then imagine the impact it would have on your group overhead, your sales numbers (properly incentivised employees perform better) and your esqi. I'll guarantee if all the sub-level 3 management got together and organized a company wide walk-out then Tom Parker would have no choice but to hear you.
Its up to you, current C2 employees, to change your work environment. To stand by doing nothing, all the while complaining, you are part of the problem. Try being part of the solution... or just quit and find something else.
