Controller Saint Louis - Cochrane
Group Rental Manager Saint Louis - Knowlton
Remarketing Manager Saint Louis - Radke
Area Manager Saint Louis - Macdougall
Remarketing Manager Ottawa - Olson
Area Manager Rental Ottawa - Royand
Controller Toronto - Hercyuak


Of course there is a lot of dirt on every company and all these people have some skeletons. But the truth of the matter is this website won't change anything. They all get the job done and done very well. Hats off to them.
Maybe someday you and I will cash paychecks like these guys.

The dirt is the recruiters in C5 are dirty... Leave the level III's alone.

Buddy, the Alberta economy is what is getting these people promoted, not their talent. Good people, perhaps, but they happen to be in the right place at the right time, that's all. That's how ERAC works. As far as Hercyauk in Toronto, her career is over. Once you leave C5 for a shitty region, it's all downhill from there. Ride the wave while you can, then get out before you sink.

All I want to say.. just one simple thing..
Is this..
Promotions in Northern Alberta are not based on Numbers, on sales, on what you do for the company, how much you do for the company, or the amount of hours that you put in.. It doesn't matter if you worked every day your branch was open for 3 months straight without asking for time off, it doesn't matter if 2 of the strongest MT's in an area look at you and thank you for training them, because with at least 1 of them, and they will tell you this, their manager couldn't train rain to fall.. It doesn't matter about any of that.. The only way you will get promoted in this area, in northern alberta, is if your a favorite.. I always wanted to think this company was different, that's what were trained to believe.. I guess I was wrong, and I feel like I've wasted part of my life striving to move up, when I always had someone pulling me back down..

On another note..
Wade...Buddy.. I'm sorry that you haven't been promoted to BM yet, you could do it, and should have been there a long time ago.. Sorry that you're being held back..

I must admit I agree with what your saying in regards to promotions in Alberta, period. Lets take a look at some of the recent promotions over the last year. Hmmmmm who comes to mind. First is RS. 11 months and a branch manager. Well lets see, his uninsured lossed and AMAZING ESQI score definately prove he was ready to be a manager in my eyes. Hey RS have youeven cracked 70 for esqi yet? And having the WORST uninsureds shows that too. Especially hearing you say after every bad rental decision "I would do it again" Yeah you were ready. Then I look at AG and C526 there esqi, impressive fleet growth and AMAZING abilities to do nothing prove that they were ready. Then you look at someone like LK. who should of been promoted to one of those stores before either one of those 2 but had to wait and take an outlying area position. Yet her first month ESQI went up and second month she was highest in the GROUP. Her numbers prove she was well trained and ready to me a manager long before those other people mentioned above. Just thought I would point that out. Keep pluggin away for nothing guys. Maybe soon

BANG ON!!!! Good call. It is no secret that the #1 sales people in canada all come from Alberta. We do have some talented people here, but all the numbers are completly inflated by the economy. Wait till it crashes again and see what group comes out on top. I GUARANTEE you it will NOT be C5. The economy is allowing them to sell and grow without marketing. If you sent a guy from C5 to say C1, where they would have to market (not just drop off donuts to the receptionist) They would not know what to do.

Better yet, send the guy to C2(Toronto), and watch him stagnate until he quits. I quit ERAC in C2, and moved to Alberta a while back, and never been happier.
It'll be a cold day in hell before anyone gets promoted out of there. And they're bustin' it --fuck are they bustin' it, and for nothing. Maybe a few more rentals here and there. Try selling dub to some of these cultures -Jew, Arab, Russian, Persian, Indian, Paki, Jamaican, Chinese. How do you scam a scammer? Good thing about the immigrants is they make for a competitive economy, so prices on common goods are more affordable. Sucks for the ERAC employee when you're having to rent a CCAR from 25.99 to 32.99/day. Reality is these people refuse dub (only a few silly white people take it, and how many of them are left in Toronto nowadays), and the rate is shit. Which means...yes...their income is shit.
Fleet growth is stagnant too. The big growth days died at the beginning of the decade, as did people's future potential with the company.
Lets review, no income plus no fleet growth means...you got it...no promotion. Enjoy it while you can C5. Ride the wave and get out before you sink. It's the economy baby!

T.A. I had no idea that your rental knowledge was so fine tuned? Come on dude you were an accountant.

M.L (or should I say "been around 4 a while..whatever..)you have a bad f$$cking attitidude, you know very little about what your talking about and you need to go away.

hahaha.. not ML, but I did work with her. Worked with you too, unfortunately. If she knows 'little about what she is talking about' then you RS, know absolutely nothing. Hows the ESQI at the airport? That's what happens when you get promoted by DEFAULT. Keep thinking you are only gonna be in GP for a year. guess what smart guy, can't get promoted when your ESQI is in the toilet. Unless of course you get promoted by default again. Which would be a shame, cause then you could go back to calgary or edmonton and start ruining relationships there too. Keep up the good work asswipe, and you shouldn't be so quick to point the finger when you don't know what you are talking about. ML's retarded husband got them banned from this site long ago for arguing with the dude who started the site. Good to see you are still trying to build a stronger team up there long after I left.

Why do you think Alberta driving has gotten so crazy in the past 2 years. All the whitey's from Toronto moved to Alberta and brought the Bangladeshi driving style with them.

C5 is successful because we are the best. We have the people and of course the best leaders.
