This Thread Is Probably Going To Start Up A Stir But Here It Goes...

Whatever... just to clear things up in Car Sales. I been here for 6 months. My YTD on my check is $39K - I'm grilling soon - I'm on pace for $80K as an AE which means my starting base as an assistant is $75K-80K and I have the potential of making $110K+ in less than a year and it aint hard cause I already roll deals. With potential of being a branch manager in less than 2 years making $150k+ for doing absolutely nothing but marketing my guys and making sure they're in line. (BTW my BM works only 40 hours a week) Today I sold a car and with the FAT backend product comission I made about $460 on that car, it's typical.

Yeah I'm a Used Car Sales Man but Gotdamn I'm fuckin makin money. Plus as a Level II AE (in which someone said previously is bullshit) I drive any car I want on the lot under $17K - FREE GAS - FREE INSURANCE. Which will probably save me about $20K in bills this year. I get free massages every week because I have PPO insurance for $13 bucks a month. I have an expense account which I use to take MT's out to lunch.

All in all - just get the facts straight please. You can talk all this shit about ERAC but you know what? THERE'S NOT ALOT OF COMPANIES OUT THERE THAT CAN SHOW YOU $110k+ in less than a year and possibly $150K + in less than 2 years. I'm not saying there arent any companies out there that would do that but it is certainly RARE! If you find one - congrats! I commend you - for everyone else still searching - good luck!

P.S. For the guy that said that his buddy makes $800 selling cars at the local dealership. That's bullshit - Average sales rep at a SATURATED Dealership makes about $300/car. His CLOSER (TeamLeader) takes 1/2 the cut and whoever else helped out with the deal gets a cut. It's really B.S. and the time frame to move up is ridiculous. Also my buddy works for a Pharmaceutical Sales Company - been there for 5 years. Great Base pay ($55K w/company car) but low comissions. His first year he made $75K and never made anymore than that. Never moved up - nothing - he just hit his cap every year. Oh yea and his boss makes $85K-$90K he's been with the company for 10+ years (what a joke).

Which brings me to the next point. I've browsed around this site looking at what people have to say and all I see really are people who just could'nt hack it. WITH ALL JOBS YOU START OUT WITH - YOU HAVE TO PUT IN WORK - I THINK PEOPLE HERE INCLUDING MY PEERS THAT JUST GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE ALL THINK THAT THEY ARE GONNA MAKE 6 FIGURES OFF THE BAT. VERY POSSIBLE BUT IMPROBABLE. Point is Wash your cars in your suits - work your ass off and move - up. CORPORATE POLITICS & BULLSHIT EXIST EVERYWHERE GUYS - NOT ONLY AT ERAC AND ITS SAD BECAUSE "MOST" PEOPLE THAT TALK SHIT ABOUT ERAC NEVER REALLY WORKED FOR ANOTHER LARGE COMPANY AND EXPERIENCED EVEN WORSE POLITICS THAN THAT OF ERAC. I on the other hand has experienced Corporate Politics that make's ERAC's bullshit look like heaven.

To give some people here the benefit of the doubt. I have seen some dumb shit @ ERAC and I can see why some people are angry. When you start letting it get to you is when you fall off. You think your Area Managers and RVP's didnt experience this shit when they first started? Off course they did. But they rolled with the punches and dealt with the bullshit and are probably now sitting at $200-$250K+ a year in doing so. You know what they're saying in their heads right now? Motherfucker that's right I did wash cars in my suit and I did Rent cars to assholes but Gotdamn it's been X amount of years and I'm sittin pretty. IT'S LIKE THIS WITH ALL COMPANIES - YOU GOTTA PAY YOUR DUES AND PUT IN WORK. IN THE ROUGH NEIGHBORHOOD I USED TO LIVE IN WE HAD A NAME FOR PEOPLE WHO COMPLAINED AND BITCHED WITHOUT PAYING THEIR DUES AND EARNING THEIR STRIPES. "PUSSIES".

I call Bullshit...Let's see your cards... If you are so happy and honest let's see your most recent paystub. All talk?

You made me laugh, there wasn't a question about your personal feelings about Admin. You could deduce that from your posts.
I've never read that I'm admin's favorite poster, that'd be whoever occupies the top spot beneath his on number of postings. I wouldn't be a favorite precisely because we don't see eye-to-eye on Enterprise.

Defensiveness is an extremely amusing thing on this board. I never understood why complete strangers get so pissed when someone they don't know says something to them. Or why people need to boast about how much education, status,or money they have. One thing I've learned from this site is that a lot of insecure people go to discussion boards.

agree 100% and have had the exact same thoughts. Couldn't have said that better myself.

I understand what motivates him in picking and choosing what he wants to enforce, and it is his board, but when he spends all his energy calling out a company for inconsistently following their mission statement when he can't even follow his own....he only shoots himself in his foot and makes himself lose the respect he so craves. When you say he tries and keep the content somewhat regulated....he hand selects what it is he wants regulated. Again, it's his board, but when he leaves up water cooler gossip, but nitpicks crap that paints himself in a bad light, what does that tell the posters on his site. He can dish it and sit back while actual names get dragged through the mud, but throws a hissy when the flashlight is on him. Again, it's difficult for most people to respect someone like that.

agreed, there's no rhyme or reason there, but there usually ins't to my posts either, just whatever floats my boat that day.

He should really use this site as a tool to learn from and recognize the things he does. Because it surely is not going to make enterprise recognize what they do.[/quote]

sorry about the garbled last couple of paragraphs there, clicked submit in order to run and do something and didn't make sense. oh well.

????? you are an idiot. Those are not lies. On the rental side of things cars are always returning, or being washed, or on the way from another office. We don't just sit on our ass and have your car sitting and waiting. We run a 9billion dollar a year company and that means taking chances. We make people feel good about the situation that they are in. Good people don't mind a little wait as long as they know we are trying our best to take care of them. Now on the other hand, ungrateful people like you are always just looking for a reason to complain. I'm sorry you had a bad childhood but lighten up man. We don't lie, We work hard and sometimes we make mistakes. Jesus teaches us to forgive, why can't you? I love this site, I have rented at least 10 cars in the past 6months to people that mentioned this site as the reason why the chose ERAC. They wanted to see what all the fuss was about. After I made them feel great about their rental, they always return and tell all of their family and friends. Thanks ?????. Your such an idiot.

this thread has all gone to shit.....

i don't think i have ever read anything more funnier / pathetic / boring in my life....

[The Posleen]

I would call you ignorant but that just indicates a lack of knowledge. You on the other hand just seem to have a lack of intelligence

Post a paystub e-chimp. You don't think we are gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe, do you?

I have to say one thing, when people brag about driving a free car while working at Enterprise, it makes me laugh, becuase when my poor manager got fired he was driven home by his ARM and at the time he lived in his parents basement, and had no car to drive to interviews etc. A car is a great thing to OWN, not borrow!

You are so right Grass. I couldnt believe how many BM's had NO personal car! If you are making the $$$ you claim, can't you afford a personal car? What the fuck?
