My theories about management training programs So I'm new to Enterprise, I was told to try for an MT job by a good friend has been with the company for 7 years. I interviewed got to the second phase and was rejected. I soon found this site and heard the horror stories, from one guy who was asked to go on a repo in a shitty neighborhood, to a guy driven to killing a rabbit. I'm glad I'm not making 32k a year at a shit job with a company who has gone too far on it's reputation of giving huge pay days in the end. So on to my thought about the MT job. This is, in short, the same as a shitty sales job in retail. You enter a store and you're a nobody. You get paid shit, get shit hours and hate your job. The difference is that in retail they call you a "sales associate" they make no bones about it. You're nobody. They don't tell you you're a manager in the making to make you feel like you're going places. Once you're there for 9 months as the E-chimp skank Nicole G. Cain told me, you can move on. Sure, you can put in for an assistant manager's job where you make slightly more, from what I heard a few hundred more a year. You're simply doing the same work, for the same pay, and you're still nobody. They just throw you a bone and tell you you're almost a somebody, you're an assistant somebody. Then after 60-70 hour weeks of work for about 3 years, you get the big job. You are now branch manager. But you're making about 40k plus. By no means a job worth all the work you had to put in to get it. You think you're hot shit, as did the guy who interviewed me, Marc Edleman. Funny, this guy is supposed to be in the spot I'm looking to get to but he was wearing a shitty cheap suit and a cheap white cotton coat, not even a top coat with his suit. After doing shit there, you can move to regional manager or whatever and now you're making the big bucks. Thing is, people there for 5 years plus are only making 67k or so, a guy who is a regional manager makes about that now. My sister makes more than that afgter 3 years at her TV job, my brother-in-law makes way more after a few years he too is in TV. In the end, it's just a retail job with self important assholes dressed up in big boy clothes. Last edited by FukEnterprise; 2010-02-01 at 13:06. |
