I work for Group 12...

[ravencr]

Just wanted to introduce myself as someone happy at Enterprise in CO.

Chris

I think GP 12 is better run than some of the other groups (or it used to be when I was working there). My co-workers were great and most of the customers were pretty cool, too.

However, it doesn't change the fact that you have to wear a white shirt and log in so many hours week after week.

I hear ya! It's not easy in Rental, which is one reason I pursued Fleet Management after being a branch manager for 8-9 months.

Chris

raven, no one here cares about your awesome erac exploits.
a large portion of people here were your superiors, so save your propaganda success story
pretty pathetic when you have to come here to defend your awesome job

[ravencr]

I'm not necessarily defending it, just letting people know that if they're a very driven person willing to work through the tough times, Enterprise will take care of you way more than most companies in the world. I'm not bragging by any means, because there's plenty of people that could do very well at Enterprise. But, it's a great job for single young college grads, and other than that it makes it very hard because of the hours and stress level at the job. I can't imagine doing it being married and with kids, which I'm sure a lot of people have, so I do understand.

take care of you way more?
how so?
for all ERAC says about taking care of their employees, i never saw it.

What did you think they sold that they didn't deliver on for you?

the wage
the potential for advancement (told me based on growth, in reality based on attrition)
that the workload gets easier (as a BM i was doing the same things that my MT was doing)

In any company if everyone stayed or never got promoted, nobody else would get promoted either. But, because of the constant change at Enterprise, it's easy to get promoted in my opinion. We're you a top performer or average?

It's get's easier if you let it, and you have the proper level of staff to support your business. But, there are many cases, this isn't the case, unfortunately. I'm sorry you had a bad experience.

yeah the lied about the salary, it's not a salary, it's hourly.
they (hr) are quick to gloss over this fact in the interview.
don't believe me? then ask the hundreds of peeps who post here.
promotions at ERAC are based on people leaving or getting fired...their is no growth, at least in michigan. as a matter of fact the exact opposite is happening...branches closing up, esp in group 20.
not very good for morale if you ask me.
on paper it sounds great, you have staff to do the little things while you can do your job as a BM. but we all know this isn't the case, branches are notirously (sp) understaffed...BMs and AMs are forced to do the same jobs they did as MTs. reduce turnover and maybe this could be remeided.
and i was most def an avg performer...but this makes little difference. both those better and worse than me hated the job just as equally, and rarely did the top performers stick around for long.
afterall, who wants to work in this biz, esp those who are naturally sucessful?
