You are absolutely right that employers TARGET ERAC employees for many reasons ranging from customer services skills to sales skills. Plus many ERAC employees hate their jobs and want to get better compensated for thier positions.

ERAC is kind of the minors for employment with REAL companies.

GOOD JOB SPELLING?

Flip more burgers and stop spilling out more BS.

I apologize my spelling is not as strong as your's. I mean you must be highly intelligent to work in the ERAC world. I mean it takes a tremendous amount of brain power to wash a car, write a ticket and sell CDW. Your grammar is outstanding as well. Is "GOOD JOB SPELLING?" a question or a statement. Ask your next customer what level of education they think you have. I bet they will say high school diploma. How is your JC Penny's suit wearing? Are your shoes maintaining that stepped on look? Get a real job you moron. It is funny the only thing in my post that you can retort is the fact that I misspelled a few words. WOO HOO GO ERAC! (or maybe I should write it like you, WOO HOO GO ERAC?)

Grow up, move out of your parent's basement and get a job using your degree.

The last message was from GUNIT.

P.S. Tell me how the interest rates affect you at the branch level. Where do the rates your financing for your vehicles come from? Will your profits increase or decrease? I know you have no idea, but I bet you sure can vacuum a car.

Hopefully you don't need to ask around to figure that one out buddy.

Guys, I'm green (pun not intended) to the website. I find the creator had quite a few valid points and had even given a boxing ring for ERAC'ers and EX-ERAC'ers to duke it out. Very interesting...

On the topic at hand regarding pay, it is exactly what everyone of my MT's were ever promised. It is low at best for the quality of people ERAC hires. No one can question that they hire QUALITY employees, the best in the industry. But ERAC failed somewhere to add financial value to those starting off and are starting to snip away at paychecks currently.

If you had a manager like I had or was, you were told the first year is the toughest at work and financially. You were then told you could write your own ticket on how much you can make when you make management.

I could always stand by the first part, but over recent years have had difficulty "selling" the second part. I have seen manager after manager grow a branch, become successful, and make a lot of money, exactly what we are supposed to do. Then, along comes a GRM or RVP or GM and decides to create more opportunity by slicing a successful manager's work in two to create a new position. I got out before that happened to my branch. I got stuck at a branch for a while (many refer to the "golden boy/girl" promotion process, which I was not a part of) and saw the writing on the wall. So much for the exceptional achievement year...

Then there is my assistant manager pay. I have seen the pay from capped out to half of that comission. I have had 6 different assistant managers and their pay plans have continued to plummet. Fortunately, we acted in the "enterprise way" to get the assistant paid more than the MT. But after awhile that got damn hard! But its the American way... Get someone to do the job cheaper (not necessarily better). Have you seen how many jobs the US has outsourced???

And the promotion??? An opportunity for big brother to cut your commission WITH your permission. Kinda glad in that way that I got stuck. Or ask my very good friend who made 65K as a BRM and 50K as an area manager...

"My Enterprise" is not what it was when I hired. The manager autonomy has be leashed, the pay gets worse, and the staffing gets tougher and tougher every day. UK BM is old school and I love it. I wish you all the success and hope it stays that way for you. MY past managers golfed once or twice a week and was more likely rubbing elbows with accounts than writing tickets! More power to them because that is exactly what I wanted. And I had it for a while until staffing became so bad that I transformed into a glorified MT.

The only thing that is certain is change.... I wish that wasn't so. Because I loved the ERAC that I hired on to in the year 19something-something. All I can say to the current ERAC'ers is fight the power and ask an old schooler how much you can get away with!!!

And KILL them on your employee opinion survey next year.

For the record, I am not disgruntled, unhappy, or even upset with my experience at the E. There are bigger and better things in store for me. I have paid my dues and unfortunately for the E, my life plans have changed.

Sorry about the novel... Got a little carried away...
