so you are saying this area manager could not get a job anywhere else and now makes less than 12,000 a year. boy his enterprise experience must have really paid off.

1st let me appoligize for your bad experience unfortunatly it happens from time to time especially when new people come into the company but rest assured everything she did was standard procedure BUT it could have been handled differently 1 they should have got your insurance info upfront BEFORE you came into the branch that way they could have called you agent and had your info BEFORE you came in same goes with the DEBIT card procedure belive me that is our biggest problem I am very glad that you understand the difference between a DEBIT and CREDIT card but most people do not know the difference, we do these thing to protect us and the customer and I will make a long story very short my first office I worked in I had a regular weekend customer who I rented to every weekend for over 6 months I never verfied his coverage he told me he had full coverage with a 500 dollar deductible well one weekend he wrecked our we collected the deductible did the accident report and sent it in to our loss control department 2 days later we found out he had no insurance and because I did not do my job he will be paying 400.00 a month for the next 7 years for a car he never owned when if I did my job for 44.95 for the weekend for the CDW I could have saved him alot of money. and as far as calling to see when you are returning it shoul;d be nothing more than a courtesy call. Happy GP 40er

How about them Steelers!!!!!

It's pretty much Gospel at this point, GP40 has some SERIOUS morale issues...Dirk is getting his poor ASS kicked in the east (he's a super cool guy, though, I hope he turns it around) and not ONE of the 4 divisions is doing real well right now...negative growth, negative OP, the pits...

The Area Managers need to be weeded out - I never saw an aggressive business person in very many of them. Oh, well, now that I'm gone, I guess it's not my problem, right? Too bad so many of my friends still work there...

i've never worked for a company before who would rather please the public than make a profit... the whole ESQI system is a joke...

I am glad for the oportunity ERAC has given me , yeah the hours suck BUT any career requires hard work dedication and long hours at least with ERAC I'm not on call 24/7 like I had to be at my former job ........ look at it this way I have 3 friends of mine quit ERAC since I started they are all making half what they made at ERAC so is ERAC really that Bad................. I think NOT Happy GP 40er

I guess you'd be surprised to learn that Pittsburgh is still the 7th most popular city for fortune 500 companies to call home. Until a few years ago we were #5. It just takes initiative and training in the proper fields to land a career -- yes a real career -- with one of these companies. I don't know who your friends are working for or what their skills are, but there are many jobs locally that pay better than ERAC and have reasonable hours.

Since you've obviously bought into the idea that ERAC is the best you can do go ahead and continue to be an overworked, underpaid, unappreciated peon for the green machine and leave the real jobs for the rest of us. To each his own!

Dirk was getting his a__ kicked when I was there years ago. TA about the Area Managers -- they couldn't run a real business if their lives depended on it. So glad to be out!

I heard a rumor that Dirk is no longer with ERAC? Anyone know if that's true and what the circumstances were?

Yes Dirk is gone he left after 14 years to become an investment banker
