Where you can sit on your ass at a desk and go home at 5pm.
I suggest you suck it up and learn how to apply yourself to your job. Put in some effort, make a name for yourself within the company, and then if it still sucks...quit! Thats what I did, but at least I got up to branch manager before realizing this wasnt for me

I would bet the farm that you were a shitty branch manager and probably didnt quit but got fired.

Thats a BMs compensation for not giving you a lunch break (at 3pm) they buy everyone in the office a nice greasy pizza. I have lost 60 pounds since I left ERAC and take normal 1 hour lunch breaks at noon (not 3pm) everyday and when I'm not working from my home I walk around the beautiful building I now work in during lunch and we have a cafeteria with a nice salad bar. GOODBYE ERAC...GOODBYE POOR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH!

What did you think you were going to do, sit at a desk or drive around all day? How else would you make money as a company other than selling and how would you drive sales without setting performance standards. I'm good with you quitting, but before bashing the company for what it is, maybe you should have looked into it a little more before taking the job.

Its too bad you havent quit yet...you will or you'll get fired. I did say that it was due to my experience at ERAC that I have my current job so I'm not completely dogging them. And I absolutely love my current job so THANK YOU to ERAC for giving me my customer service experience. It was hard earned dealing with all the dick head managers and long hours and weekends I had to endure.

Oh and by the way...when I had my 2nd interview with ERAC I was told that I would be working 8-6, not 7:30-7 which was typical. I was also told that I would only have to work 1 weekend a month...guess I should of known 1 meant 3. Oh yea and NO ONE in the interviewing process mentions that its damn near impossible to take a Mon or Fri off at ERAC. That reminds me I'll be working from my home office tomorrow! :) Hope everyone at ERAC enjoys their 3pm pepperoni and cheese today!

seriously lol
dub sales amount to less than 10% of a branches profit
pennies in the bucket, a net other minor profit

the real sales is moving up in the company and selling the bullshit to your underlings.
selling the dream, climbing the pyramid
99.99% of real sales jobs pay around 10-15k more right off the bat
this is a retail position

THANK YOU!!!! I couldn't have said it better myself.
Pharm sales is a SALES position-and you get $60,000 + to start. On average you do get 10-15k more-and don't have some hot headed *GO ERAC* punk telling you YOU suck because you don't like to bullshit people everyday to "make a name for yourself." Besides..what the hell are these die hard ERAC people doing on here anyway? It does say FAILING Enterprise, right?

The question we are all asking.

Well on the flipside I've been with group 48 for a bunch of yrs now and the hard work really does pay off. Yea the hours sucked and still do sometimes but it really is worth it down the road. The benefits and job security are great and there are endless opportunities. Remember why you came on in the 1st place? If you stay committed and work hard every day, you will do well. If you are not committed and do not want to work hard then you won't. It's not for everyone.

Job security? You must still be an MT. That's the only secure job in the whole shitbag company, you do the slave work for Massa Taylor and his cronies, they need you pretty bad since you are willing to be shit on for $10 and hour.

I'd like to ask you to elaborate on how ERAC has paid off for you. I worked in GP48 for 2 years and it hardly paid off and I worked hard and was committed right to the end, something a lot better came along for me so I took the risk and left. I'm sad to admit that I didn't realize how bad ERAC was until I left and started working for a normal company. I think thats why ERAC grabs people right out of college, that way we don't know what its like anywhere else. I've been at my current job for 2 years now...I make 50K, get an annual raise and bonus, work 40 hours a week, work from home 2 or 3 days a week and I work in a nice office with hard working and bright people. I still get to work in customer service which I always loved but I work with hospitals which is a little more noble than renting cars and basically constantly lying to people and ripping people off...and NO more sales praise the lord!

Maybe you worked in a CT branch, I always felt those were run better than MA. Anyway, if you have been there for a few years, get out then you'll realize how much better life is after ERAC.
