Default Starting next week...maybe not

Holy shit! I just found this site and have already said that I would work next week. I am quite frightend after reading this site. I have an interview scheduled next week that I was going to cancel on but after reading this I think that I will keep that appointment. I am an honest person and I really don't think I can stand to be put in unethical situations on a daily basis! But that is my problem now...I'm one of those people who have difficulty resigning. I will feel really bad starting with the company and then leaving shortly thereafter. The other company has 401k match and full benefits from day one. I just don't know if i will get it or not. I guess I will work at Enterprise and if the other job comes through I can just quit. Will it cause too much of a disruption to quit and would it be a good idea to do it in person? Ugh..I hope that I get this other job or you may see me appying in the other sections soon!!!!!!

try to get a bit of experience through erac though, even if it's just getting into a mindset of working hard.

Don't feel bad about screwing ERAC over. Trust me. They have already screwed thousands of employees over. And they have lied to YOU and countless others as well. My advice: don't even show up. You will be so exhausted from the days, it might jeoparidize your other interview.

Glad to help.

Tell ERAC failingenterprise.com set you straight. :)

RUN JULIE.....RUN RUN RUN.
This job BLOWS, and you will be so much better of not even going. 50% retention is screaming to you that this company sucks.(and that is with all the numbers playing that we all know goes on behind the scenes to make this number look as good as it can)

How many trainees are there now? 20,000??? That means 10,000 trainees QUIT last year.....think about that! Can 10,000 trainees be wrong?????

You owe nothing to ERAC, just call leave a voice mail or E-mail the recruiter and just decline the offer now. They will give you the guilt trip of a lifetime, but stick to how great the other offer is. And good luck.

The fastest way to end their guilt trip is to mention you've been reading Failing Enterprise. They definitely won't want you after that.

It's funny that all of these people are telling you not to go to ERAC but how many of you worked there, left and are now better for it. Starting off for ERAC is not the end of the world if you don't mind working hard but keep in mind this is not happening at every single office in the world. Alot of the markets and these issues are happening in similar markets. I worked in a branch in the ghetto....and I mean ghetto and it was not a problem until a problem was created by ERAC (which was not too often). There are also other questions you should ask yourself, what tyoe of job are you looking for, what is your degree in, what type of work environment do you want to work in.......where are you going to be working....most of the Group threads are from major markets where the volume of business is much much larger....but if you are in Podunk, Kansas then you probably will not have as much of an issue. ERAC is not for anyone and I was very successful when I was there but I moved and the opportunity was not there after moving otherwise I would have kept the free car and 6 figure salary.....(which I still have). Good luck in your decision though whatever you decide!

I worked for ERAC for 2 years. I had some good times there and met a lot of great people. If you decide to work there, don't plan on being there long term. It's a job, not a career!

Default trust your gut feeling

My advice is to follow your inner feelings. If you have nervous or skeptical feelings about ERAC then there is probaly a good reason for it. I actually came to ERAC from a very stressful job. I only worked 40 hours a week and make 60k a year before working ERAC. Because my old job was so stressful ERAC was a slice of cake for me during my first 2 months. However, I began to get sick of the 60 plus hours a week and the $10 an hour pay. I was losing my social life, my gym time and I was barely making ends meet. I resigned from Enterprise and Im currently in the process of getting back to my 40-60k a year job and have no regrets leaving ERAC.

Looking back I had no business taking a job like ERAC. ERAC is only a temporary job, only a very small percentage actually make a career out of it.
