[green goblins?]

I interviewed and took this job b/c one of my buddies has worked there for a year and hasn't bitched his ass off. he even said he loves his job! how much green kool-aid is he drinking? i didn't even really want the job b/c of the money and hours. i still don't want the job but i want to start working. should I:

1)work until i ruin a suit washing cars in the snow

2)go to training and ask them about this website

3)loose all respect for my buddy

4)don't show up, tell them to kiss my ass

What is your situation? Can you afford to NOT have a job right now? What did you go to school for? The hours are long and they make looking for a different job almost impossible. If you don't want the job don't take it. If you can afford to keep looking then do so. Your friend who has been there for a year is probably still an MT or MA and hasn't yet seen how the company can screw people over.

Some people just take longer to see through all the bullshit. Some people figure it out within a few weeks while others figure it out after a couple of years. Your buddy will realize it around the time he becomes a branch manager and his career comes to a stop.

Since it sounds like you are not all that interested in the job then find another. If you honestly have nothing else better to do than I would go with option #2, I think it would be kind of funny to hear failing enterprise mentioned in your training class. I can just visualize the scramble to deprogram those thoughts from your other classmates.

Break balls during training and see what they say.

Your post doesn't make much sense. You realize its a stupid job but you applied and accepted their offer? You were warned by this website and you still accepted? You don't believe your buddy and you still accepted?
If you're actually serious and not pulling our leg I would definitely not go to training because you sound like you have the makings for the worst kind of e-chimp- the one that hates their job but keeps going and complains endlessly.

p.s. it's lose, not loose.

Here's a great idea that worked for me! Take the job. Work toward being placed in a 7 day branch. Volunteer to work every weekend so that you can have two weekdays off. Start filling out applications and going to interviews on your days off but tell the places not to call Enterprise because that is just way too much drama for anyone (even better, don't even list that you work for ERAC). Get the better job! The joy of this is that you get to pay your bills while you are looking for a better job! Everyone is happy!

Not even the thrill of blasting the company in the green haven of the corporate training session is worth any of the other stupid crap that goes along with working for Enterprise. Although I won't soon forget the day I called the place a cult in the middle of training, I'd much rather have never been embarrassed to tell people what my job was, or to wake up in the middle of the night with nightmares of phones ringing and a room full of jackass ghetto rats standing in line.

Stay away.

Umm so I have an interview at Enterprise next week b/c people at my school's career center said it's a "good place to start a career". After spending 2 min on this site i should probably reconsider. Can someone tell me if their starting salary was at least over $30,000??
