Truck Rental?

Looking for a job and one of my buddies suggested ERAT. My wife worked for ERAC 2 years ago and said I would be a fucking idiot to work for anything Enterprise. I have seen some good things on here about truck rental, any suggestions...

Did it for a few years. If you like washing trucks, checking tire pressure, checking oil, cleaning up old cigarettes in a suit then this is for you. If you like getting up at 3 in the morning because someone can't get their truck started so you can drive out there and try to give them a jump in 0 degree weather then go for it. the managers are fools. the area managers only care about themselfs and are total jerkoffs. the GTM acts like he cares, but all he cares about is golfing. definetly have to be one of the chosen ones to make it anywhere. only promotion to level three is out of state. and every account you sign up, you eventually have to cut your rates because thats what the competition does. good luck getting weekends or holidays off. even if your closed you have to go clean trucks on sundays becuase they won't staff you with the VSA's you need. good luck to you

A fucking men. Truck is so independent that there is no real buy in the GTMs are out for them selves and then when the big dogs come down to visit the branches the shit hits the fan

I was supposed to go work at the truck office in dayton a few years ago as a vsa but everytime I asked when I was going over they would give me some explanation that they weren't busy enough. I had to take some rental contracts over there that we're delivered to our office by mistake and both the the rental guys were outside working on 6 trucks with the hoods up.
Yeah...........They weren't busy, they just wanted a little grease to get on their suits.

Oh, truck rental. Set a meeting with the GTM of Ohio and ask him about employee retention over the past 4 months. He'll give you the corporate BS answer about "regular turnover," but it is far from the truth. There is a major problem within the group. According to my calculations, 5 employees have quit since October (1 Manager, 3 Assistant Managers, 1 MA, and 1 MT). So if you're even considering Truck, make sure to keep your schedule open on Saturdays and holidays because you'll be on the clean-up crew as upper management tries to pick up the pieces while still earning those fat commission checks at your expense. Forget flexing if you working that Satuday, you have accounts to close and trucks to clean!

Empty promises and dead-end positions are the "norm" for E-Whack, and it is no different in Truck. The upper level management of Group 38 will dangle the proverbial carrot in front of your nose until you wake up one day and decide to grow the cojones to search out greener pastures. Don't be fooled by the rhetoric of corporate puppets, that's a lesson I learned way too late in the game. It's all just smoke and mirrors when it comes to Group 38, and the opportunity for advancement is bleak. Management won't want to write recommendations for a transfer out of the group because they can't afford to lose another employee...it is all about their bottom line, Pion. Basically, someone will have to be fired, quit, or die in addition to an act of divine intervention in order for a Columbus Truck rental brach manger to be "promoted" and support anything other than a middle-class lifestyle. Go out and find yourself a truly rewarding career with an upstanding company that will recognize you for something other than your beer-guzzling skills and how well you can clean a truck in a suit & tie without looking like that's what they make you do between sales calls. Good ol' E-Whack living up to its crummy reputation.

And good luck this winter, boys, Mother Nature has been very kind to the Northeast so far. Truck engines have a tendency to freeze up when it's bitter cold outside, and the hourly truck preps tend to disappear when the going gets tough. So dust off your long underwear, roll up your grease-stained sleeves, smile, and act like it's worth it to make yourself feel better. Everybody else is faking it, and so can you!!!!

Another piece of advice that I should have mentioned at the beginning: Listen to your wife, Man. The person who suggested E-whack, whether Truck or Car, as a possible career move should not be considered a "friend"---unless you're splitting the referral bonus. Wait, it's still not worth it! That person deserves a swift kick in the a#%!!!

So is the GTM still Minick???

yes that's the one

I heard he bought a huge house. Probably can afford if since he pays his managers and assistants dick. Just proves that if you are shady you can go a long way with enterprise. don't worry about your employees who work their ass off just to pay their rent and cable bills. at least you can turn your phone off and ignore them while you are golfing all day

E-Whack-
I heard Truck had another BRM quit in the last month or so, so that makes it 6 in the last couple of months...must be great rentention numbers for them!!

That makes 3 managers since July. 2 assistants, and another MA (and a few other MA/MT's) that should have been running the branch. Great job to the level 3's. Way to follow those values that are preached so hard Minick. 'We work hard and reward hard work.' That hard work must really be rewarded now each payday becuase your people sure aren't happy anymore.
