If ERAC only hires from within, does that mean the company is run by...

I ment interviews any where. Anyone with an MBA @ ERAC is waisting their time.

ERAC is for people who want to believe they are being given the opportunity to "run their own business" but who don't have the balls to go out and actually run their own business!!

Fuck that. Nothing about ERAC relates to running your own business. You are micromanaged each second of the day and you have little input or control over your branch. Anyone who thinks different is a fucking fool.

ERAC is going to have even more trouble retaining employees over the next 10-20 years than they do right now. That is because almost all of the baby boomers are going to retire within the next few years and it is going to be a virtual smorgasbord for those right out of college. They are not going to put up with a crappy job like renting cars when there are so many other sweet jobs available. Most of the people that have been at ERAC long term are Gen-Xer's who graduated from college when the job market really sucked and just ended up settling. It is going t be an entirely different scenario in the forseeable future. In fact, it already seems to be hitting them hard, as I hear the Gen-Y kids are in much better positions and retention is even worse now than it was in the mid to late 90's.

ERAC is never going to have a problem hiring people. there will never be a shortage of C+ / B- new college grads who have no idea what job field they get into. ERAC is going to have a hard ass time RETAINING people, especially at the manager and trainee level. after a year of hell and hardship renting cars and driving customers home, you get that call from a Hot Shot Recruiter offering you a salaray basically equal to what your area manager makes for a job thats one million times more respectable, thats lot of money for a 24-25 yr old to pass up

yeah its true. if you have anything higher than a 2 year degree at enterprise, your wasting your life. people w/ higher education should be working in offices discussing the 3-5 yr cyclical growth strategies for a worldwide company, not stressing out over whether or not they're going to have an FCAR for Mr. Dickwad's 1:00 reservation

When I graduated college, job market was crap...I settled for Enterprise. I worked 3 years...2years too long.

EXACTLY what Caliente said!

AMEN!!

I am a Generation Xer (born 1973, graduated HS in 1991 and College in 1995).
There were few jobs to be had. Hell enterprise seemed like the best thing around.

If the boomers retiring is going to open up a ton of positions then erac just may have to change directions and actually treat people like human beings and actually train them.

I know that may mean they will only bring in 6 billion next year but dammit sometimes you have to bite the bullet!
