I started my career straight out of college and have been there since. Yes, I probably could go somewhere else and make more money. Quite frankly, I have other friends in the accounting field and I don't think that I complain as much as they do. Sorry, though I've worked some late nights and the occasional weekend if we were short staffed, I never found myself still at work at 10:30pm on a Saturday night worrying about my billable hours. (That was my friend who worked for Deloitte.) The pay does suck at the beginning and depending on the circumstances, the pay can suck for a while if you don't get promoted within a certain time frame. I stuck it out for a bit and am happy with where I'm at and did get promoted fairly quickly. I love the company, I make decent money, and I don't detest going to work each day. The experiene is definately a plus if you are straight out of school. You definately will learn a lot. I've had awesome staff leave for better pay and though I was sad to see them go, I didn't blame them. If you find that your path to Controller is bleak, then it is only natural to think of leaving. I've even offered to write letters of recommendation to old staff if I honestly felt they've lost the buy in, but were still good workers. But, as I still believe I'm a future Controller, I continue to stay and will do what I can to convince someone to do the same. The pay has always been an issue to me, and I've seen some strides in my group to up the pay for business management. My goal is to make it further up the ladder and make sure that our employees are given a better share. I say the same for rental too. As far as ethics go, I won't look the other way and have gotten some rental folks fired. I will walk before I give up on my ethical standards. I wish I could say the same for all (not just at Enterprise) but I'm hoping that I can make the difference and that I can influence enough people around me to do the same.
