I'll be straight up and honest as the first guy. If your thinking about working for ERAC think again. Its ridiculous the shit you go through for the amount of pay. I currently work at ERAC and from the first day I have started I have not stopped job searching for a new career. At my current branch im surrounded by other educated people, as myself that have put four years of time into getting an education to come to enterprise and make $10 an hour. I can honestly say that there is not one person at my branch thats is an MT, MA or Intern that enjoys thier job.
I currently work probably 11 hours a day monday through saturday, most often not even getting time for a lunch. I have spent $100's of dollars to meet ERAC dress code which is ridiculous. If you have facial hair, earings, side burns, or you got a trendy hair style prepare to rid yourself of it. Guys beware of a sexist company. Woman are allowed to wear whatever they want when it comes to clothes, as long as its professional. Men must wear blue or white LONG sleeve shirts, year round, with a tie.
It is true you will find yourself washing cars in a suit during the day, or cleaning your office bathroom with your tie dangling over a toilette because they dont want to hire a cleaning crew to come in more than once a week. In all reality im not sure how someone can justify saying they were happy with the pay? If you were happy with the pay here why didnt you work at mcdonalds as a shift leader and get a free uniform?
Want to get promoted at ERAC, well dont count on your actual perfomance they tell you about. Be ready to try to sell enterprise cars to customers, and refer your friends to ERAC because its such a great company for an individual with a bachelors degree. If you dont have car sale referals or employee referals, dont count on getting promoted! How is that justified on YOUR performance? In all honesty, if you dont have bills to worry about, and you dont have social life, be my guest. ERAC has opportunities to make money, but how far are you willing to go to be walked all over, treated like trash, and do a job a kid in HS could do. Dont fall for ERAC founding values of treating they're employees well and believing in full customer service. Employees never come before the customers. I guess my education must have been faulty because in management its perceived that a company is only successful when you put your employees first and employee satisfaction is at a high. ERAC employees are only happy when they load you up on alcohol at the company provided happy hours. Just keep in mind while your making $10 an hour, some asshole that runs your group is making $300k a year, and the big dog is making approx 3 million a year. Nice to know they care about someone in their company! Dont be fooled by those that bleed green, those happy go getters, they're just un-educated people entering the job market for the first time with know knowledge of business.
