It's not really a matter of having a beef with the Admin or this site. It's simply a matter of observation. After all, to say the sky is blue is a fact . . . not an opinion or an act of defiance. |
Maybe your experience with Enterprise was or has gone well, consider yourself lucky. If I were you, I'd bleed green too. For everyone else, here is my story:
Expect to be confronted with countless situations in which you are presented (by your management) with a customer who has a reservation for a car that you do not have. Most likely this customer has already been waiting for half an hour. Then you will be told you need to take said customer to a location 10-30 minutes away to get the customer their car (which may or may not be in the car class they reserved). Expect to be expected to make said customer feel as though they are "completely statisfied" with Enterprise. Expect to be expected to sell said customer dub. Expect to deal with angry people all the time. Expect to bend over backwards for the most rediculous demands just to keep your ESQI up. Expect to stress out over your dub stats, when, in fact, most of the people don't need it and you know it and yet you are expected to sell the ish anyway. Expect to deal with cocky area managers whose a$$es you must kiss but you will secretly think they are total d-bags. Expect your mangagement team to fall far short of your expectations. Expect to pick up their slack. Expect to burn out within three months. Expect to finally realize that there is a serious bottleneck at the branch manager position and that the criteria to advance beyond this position is pretty much decided by luck and your MTs who probably hate their jobs. Expect to wonder why you went to college in the first place. Expect to wonder how you ended up working in this place. Expect to feel taken advantage of. Expect to feel a resentment towards the Taylor family. Expect to start looking for new jobs. Expect to fear posting your resume on monster or similar sites because the Enterprise gestapo will find out and you will be out of a job. Expect to feel stuck. Expect to hate your job. Expect to groan when a customer walks in the front door. Expect to groan when the phone rings. Expect to groan when the shuttle shows up. Expect to hate bodyshop employees and service advisors. Expect to be treated with a total lack of respect. Expect customers to ask you why you are not wearing your nametag. Expect customers to ask what you are going to do when you get out of school. Expect to receive looks of disbelief when you tell customers you are a college graduate. Expect to feel you are selling yourself short. Expect to hate your job but cannot find a better one. Expect to contemplate graduate school.
Unless you're a total d-bag, then you will love Enterprise.
For Everyone else, don't bother, unless you really are desperate or really want to move up in the sales world. If you want a career in sales, Enterprise is an alright place to start. As far as running 'your own business' and all that, it's crap. You are not doing that. You are babysitting a branch. And the criteria for getting promoted if you are a branch manager are stupid.
Everyone in upper management is a total d-bag, this company is totally bogus. it caters to the worst sort of people. if you have any sort of ethical code you abide by, don't bother applying. you will be required sell and evaluated by selling people crap they don't need.
