I currently work at ERAC and from the first day I have started I have not stopped job searching for a new career. At my current branch im surrounded by other educated people, as myself that have put four years of time into getting an education to come to enterprise and make $10 an hour. I can honestly say that there is not one person at my branch thats is an MT, MA or Intern that enjoys thier job.
I currently work probably 11 hours a day monday through saturday, most often not even getting time for a lunch. I have spent $100's of dollars to meet ERAC dress code which is ridiculous. If you have facial hair, earings, side burns, or you got a trendy hair style prepare to rid yourself of it. Guys beware of a sexist company. Woman are allowed to wear whatever they want when it comes to clothes, as long as its professional. Men must wear blue or white LONG sleeve shirts, year round, with a tie.
It is true you will find yourself washing cars in a suit during the day, or




cleaning your office bathroom with your tie dangling over a toilette because




they dont want to hire a cleaning crew to come in more than once a week. In all reality im not sure how someone can justify saying they were happy with the pay? If you were happy with the pay here why didnt you work at mcdonalds as a shift leader and get a free uniform?
Want to get promoted at ERAC, well dont count on your actual perfomance they tell you about. Be ready to try to sell enterprise cars to customers, and refer your friends to ERAC because its such a great company for an individual with a bachelors degree. If you dont have car sale referals or employee referals, dont count on getting promoted! How is that justified on YOUR performance? In all honesty, if you dont have bills to worry about, and you dont have social life, be my guest. ERAC has opportunities to make money, but how far are you willing to go to be walked all over, treated like trash, and do a job a kid in HS could do. Dont fall for ERAC founding values of treating they're employees well and believing in full customer service. Employees never come before the customers. I guess my education must have been faulty because in management its perceived that a company is only successful when you put your employees first and employee satisfaction is at a high. ERAC employees are only happy when they load you up on alcohol at the company provided happy hours. Just keep in mind while your making $10 an hour, some asshole that runs your group is making $300k a year, and the big dog is making approx 3 million a year. Nice to know they care about someone in their company! Dont be fooled by those that bleed green, those happy go getters, they're just un-educated people entering the job market for the first time with know knowledge of business.

My dear, employees never come before the customer in any company! Don't you even know that much about business?

U624 EMPLOYEE is a legend. Everything he says is true.

The Best Post Ever.....

Can I just say, I was thinking about joining ERAC, then I went on a branch visit for my final interview...I was shocked to see there wasn't even a space to put your stuff, let alone take a break! No one had any lunch while i was there, and I was there for 6 hours (health and safety?? A break every 3 or 4 hours I think!) I thought I smelled a rat, I had a bad gut-feeling, so I thought I'd see if there was any online info from employees...

So glad I found this site, it confirmed all of my suspicions. Thanks for saving what would have been 6 wasted months of my life (though I see someone else only lasted 7 weeks!). I know what I'll tell them if they offer me a place, thanks for making the decision easier on my conscience.

Quite a few ppl didn't make it past assessment day, they must've been gutted, but no worries, they're probably better off elsewhere.

Then why'd you leave?

Just say No!!! Do not take the job. It is not worth it. The reason this site is so scary is because a lot of us have lived it. It doesn't matter what side of the pond you are on the company is the same everywhere.

Unless you are "hard up" for money...don't do it. I am sure there are other jobs out there.

Good Luck

OH MY GOSH!! Thank goodness I found this site!!! I was contacted by an employment agency and she was pushing ERAC to me so hard. i refused, but i thought i'd give it a chance since all the other jobs I was looking for didn't specify whether or not potential candidates needed a college degree. And now after reading all these things from former employees, I am sooo gonna call and cancel my appointment! I'm a hard worker, oh yes I am, but from everything I've read about the overtime and pension plans....I'm outies! And did you guys really always get wasted after work all the time? I'd like to say I'm worth more than $10+ an hr at ERAC. And from those people that work at ERAC and complain that our gen has gone lazy...so what? what can i say...i have hobbies and I have to be in the gym atleast 5 days a week and i can't do that if I eat pizza for lunch everyday and drown my sorrows in alcohol after work. i love having a life, my family, friends, my boyfriend, and I am not about to waste it all for renting cars for a living. So THANKS GUYS!!!!!

Here are a few reasons for why you should NOT work for the German operations:

1) If you are a numbers person: Retention-EVERYBODY LEAVES. Their retention is embarrassing. Worst in the whole world! They are losing more and more money every year and it is affecting their judgement and their motivation. Many can't leave because their is nothing else at the moment, but if they have the chance (including upper mgt) they will bail as quick as possible.

2) Work environment: You are a ticket writing Monkey. You work 60-72 hourse per week. (They tell you 48/week..Bullshit!) It is demeaning and utter Crap. Use your hard earned degree for something else.

3) Ethics: Whatever..it works like this. If they like you, then you will do ok for a few months. As soon as you have a few bad numbers, then they start the pressure till you get fed up or you are fired eventually. It is ALWAYS like this. Don't believe the hype from the recruiters or the hogwash from the "upper mgt" They are not getting paid anything also but would like for you to believe otherwise.
