Wow, they've called you THREE times? They're pretty desperate, aren't they? Most companies will move on if you turn them down ONCE! It must suck to work in recruiting right now. I spent many years of my life (quite literally) at Enterprise in the 'burgh, and overall it was a good experience. I got a lot of management experience, and my boss where I work now loves to say "I love Enterprise - they did my work for me!" He means in terms of professional training and management development.

I still have many good friends in the company (poor bastards), and none of us really "regret" having worked there - it is just sad how they turn over so many quality people these days. It seems like every time they are not growing as fast as they want to, they start firing people to persuade the Taylors they are making changes. It's BS, really.

My advice: If you DO decide to interview and eventually work there, get to know some of the better people in the group. See if you can work in Amarr's or Rush's area, or maybe Dirk's city, and make friends with folks at corporate (pitt's regional HQ). I would advise against moving to any division besides Daily Rental, and simply get as much training and promotion as you possibly can in the first 2 years and then find another job. You'll be surprised just how easy it is to find another job in Pittsburgh with Enterprise on your resume.

Best of luck to you!
