I am surprised you guys still talk about Pete. He's been gone for a long time in Enterprise terms.

The guy is dishonest, he rarely has good ideas, but he's great at kissing ass, trying to charm others, and like his former quasi boss Talley, when in doubt he smiles and pulls rank.

What bothered me most about Pete is that he never really answered a straight question. I could never figure out if it's because he is incapable of comprehending basic questions, or perhaps he did not know how to answer, or perhaps he frankly did not care.

Either way, I'm glad I left long ago. Looking back, I've concluded that Enterprise is a great company for those who have slightly below average, average, or slightly above average iqs who feel no compunction about being dishonest with co-workers and customers.

While a lot of my co-workers back then have now been promoted to area manager positions, I have to say, I'm very happy I left because I now have offers for the same amount of money but in jobs that are both far more rewarding and even more importantly, jobs that are far more ethical.

By the way - if it's Mike Odom that you guys are talking about, I always found him to be a good guy. I only met the man maybe 3 or 4 times, but I found him to be far more genuine than most branch managers(at the time he was a branch manager).

One more point - I seriously wish a local tv station in EE would "rent" cars from Enterprise and perform safety checks in particular on the tires. I recall on several occasions I had to flat out "disobey" my boss in order to ensure tires were drivable. It's really sad that so many enterprise employees become numb to the fact that they are renting vehicles that could pose a serious danger to the driver/passenger(s) and public in general if they are not kept up.
