Dickheads and Fucktards and Whores, oh my!

For all Alamo and National Employees: Someone needs to sit down on your behalf, and write a very comprehensive guide on how to survive. A guide sort of like the book on how to survive a horror movie.

Many of us who have left ERAC have moved on to happy, healthy, and saner careers. In MY case, I now own my own company and am relatively well-off. I realize that not all people are so blessed, and I'm equally sure that people have left ERAC for various reasons. In MY case, I couldn't stand the lack of ethics which is rife throughout the company, except (perhaps) among the upper echelon which can turn away to avoid the stench. However, down in the trenches, it is most obvious.

If you don't have a strong sense of ethics or morality, then I believe you will make it. Well, you also need to be very tough... many kids come to ERAC straight out of college, get used up, burned out, and leave within a short time. The hours and working conditions are atrocious. But, enough of that - you can read more of this elsewhere on this site.

Ultimately, ERAC would be wisest if they left your old system in place for now. Since you didn't sign up for the abuse initially, you will be more resistant to the change. Try this analogy: If you know anything about Star Trek... think of ERAC as The Borg. If you're lucky, they'll simply be your overlords. If you're UNlucky, you'll be assimilated.

Right now, ERAC needs you. They need you to be happy, because they simply don't have hordes of people to replace you if you leave. So, THIS is the time to start polishing up your resume and getting it online as fast as you can. THIS is the time to use your sick time to go on interviews. THIS is the time to make plans to leave.

The fact that ERAC has been successful does NOT mean that it is a good company to work for. The Nazis were successful once, too, and brainwashed many gullible followers - but ultimately, WW2 wasn't really a good thing for them. ERAC will also have it's day, but until then, you need to think of Numero Uno. Get out while you can.

I once knew and respected some people who worked in the Alamo corporate office (even though we considered you to be our rivals). They really enjoyed their jobs. But, as with all things in this world, change is constant. You may think you can adapt, but take my advice: This is one company that most of you will not wish to adapt to.

Period.

(Poor soul......Can't take people criticizing your shitty job or the horrible company you work for. I have heard nothing but bad things about Enterprise. They treat employees like dogs and try to project an unrealistic image of their company. How many car dealerships did you sell for before you settled with ERAC?? Enterprise is nothing but a bottom of the barrel car company. With the trends facing the car industry today....I wouldn't be surprised to see ERAC go down as well. Your company is a joke and so are the employees. Keep telling yourself you have a respectable career....job.

I am not an ex-employee; I actually interviewed with ERAC, but thankfully saw the scam. Enjoy your $30,000 a year and the shit-hole of a company that you work for!!)

Here's an example of the fuckups that get turned away (don't tell us you saw the scam) and then jump on this site and start bitching. I hope your 2 year degree and '92 Cavalier suit you well on your way to the cubicle that you stew in (I'm sorry, your "career").

Hey Robert, good to see you again under another new name. I guess you still can't get over the fact that you could not hack it. Haha! I guess you and Branch$$$isaloser can both shop at Wal Mart now!! Ha ha!

Just thought I'd jump in and say I'm employed by Vanguard, and have been for about 7 years. I work at one of our locations in Honolulu, having transferred from the customer contact center in Goose Creek, SC. I was pretty excited with being acquired by ERAC. Vanguard has been ailing for many years, and it's no party over here either.

All of the issues complained about by the admin of this website I've seen occur at both our National and Alamo locations with unsurprising frequency, and I'd venture to guess it applies to all of the big car rental companies.

So, ERAC has only brought improvements for us here in Honolulu. Hopefully, things remain the same.

Vanguard employee since 2001.
