Guess I'll leave work today about 4, head home and chill. Then tonight head to a friend's house for a little get together before going to a bar to check out a band. Not too much but hey, at least no work in the morning. Then tomorrow morning, while Goofus is dragging his hung-over, pizza smelling ass into the office, dropping beer farts and searching for the keys to the Tahoe that is blocking his fleet in, I will get up, throw on some shorts and head to this nice cafe down the street. I'll sit outside, enjoy my ice coffee and breakfast burrito and just chill. Ahhh! Sunday will be all about football as the Pats kill the Bills but I digress, the important thing is that I will be relaxing and having no worries. All because I couldn't hack it. Now I know that ERAC drains all of your imagination and originality, but I know Goofus can come up with something witty to say...right?

Congratulations on your post-ERAC life. What you fail to mention in your posts is how there are many people in the company who make very good livings, not all, but some do make it. It takes alot, I'll be the first one to admit it. Now, I don't know if you just didn't have the skills or desire to make it a career with ERAC but definitely one of those traits was missing. Does it mean you are a failure? Of course not. But, you are very foolish to mock a company that has more people who make 100K+ nationally than any other company in the nation. The Taylors are among the richest in the nation and world. ERAC is a powerhouse company, belittling it only makes you look like an ingrate.

Please share the data and statistical facts in which you state ERAC is a company that has more people who make 100K+ than any other company in the nation.

Hey Stupid, you are very foolish to think that anyone buys your bullshit. Also the weekend updates posted by Branch$$$isaloser are not mocking the company...the updates simply state what the poster is doing over the weekend then he is making an educated guess on what a typical weekend would be for an ERAC MT,MA,AM,BM, or ARM. He knows because he used to work there and so have I and all three of us know its pretty close to the truth. Notice there aren't a lot of pro ERACers and current employees sharing their weekend plans. Your post is just more proof that the truth hurts.

Just so you understand what mocking is read a few posts in this thread by "I'm Loaded" very hilarious and mocking!

You are 100% correct. ERAC has more people making 100K, or more, than any other company... And then they cut their area, region, group, or find someway to fire them, if they have been there too long, so that they can cut their salary. Then they find some young, dumb person to do the job, for half the salary. Other than that point, you have some valid points, maybe.

You know, you were almost making a point and starting a rational thought. For a moment I thought, "OK, someone is being rational, making a concise argument, and may even have some evidence to support his claim." Then you make a comment like this and everyone sees that you are just a wannabe slurping too much kool-aid. If you want to start quoting statistics then why don't you list some retention stats. I bet everyone would love to hear about that. Here is a free lesson for you, don't start an argument with a statistic or fact and when asked to show proof state that people should proove you wrong. You will not get far in life doing that. It shows that you are clueless and childish. When you want to have a real conversation supported by actual fact come on back, the water's great!

I figured I would stoop to the level of you and your friends immaturity to get my points across. You failed to address what I said to you: You either lacked the work ethics or skills to continue your career with ERAC. But, I agreed this doesn't make you a failure. I am simply stating the career at ERAC is not for everyone. You and your cohorts I am sure will respond by bashing me or the company, go ahead. That shows that you and your crew have no real arguments against what I am saying and it is obvious in your posts.

Nope, didn't lack work ethic or skills. I was a BM and worked plenty of hours, did whatever needed to be done. Decided to do something that was a little more inline with what i wne to school for, you know, not work retail. Now that I responded to you I would like you to respond to the request for proof on your fact about people earning $100K per year AND please address the retention issue.

I'm not sure how he would prove it but I would think that ERAC might very well have the most employees making 100K plus in any given year.
I know they have a lot. Been a while since I left the Big Green Machine but when I was there I bet maybe about 25% of Area Managers made 100K plus,
and every City/Group or Regional Rental Manager also. Obviously every GM and RVP. Then you have department heads of large regionalized groups.
Let's say maybe 30%-40% there make over 6. Pretty much every Controller of a large group also makes 100K plus.

65,000 employees, 6900 branches. Fueled bn the simple volume of employees , you can't argue that they have a lot making over 6 figures.
Percent of employees making over 6 may not look good though.

Again, don't think that there is any way to prove either of your claims so it really doesn;t matter anyways!

There is no question that enterprise is a sucessfull company...I dont think thats what most of us are debating. Are they a fair and ethical company...not really. Do they treat their customers well...sometimes. Do they treat employees well...no not really.

Where I worked in W. Massachusetts there were never any Area Managers making 100K a year...maybe 80 the most which isnt peanuts either but...

I think the important thing to remember is the money isnt everything. I'm only 27 but I've already learned that family and friends and just enjoying life is much much more important than how much $ you make. I've seen ERAC ruin many marriages and relationships and the job takes away so much from personal life. I remember when I was in my first year at ERAC my BM (who is a great person and somehow still works for them) always complained that when he left for work at 7am his 1 year old daughter was still asleep and guess what, when he got home at 7pm or later she was already in bed, he never saw her. That had a huge impact on part of my decision to leave.

Also, money aside my overall well being (mental and physical) improved a ton when I left ERAC. If ERAC offered me 200K to go back and work for them I wouldnt do it...thats no lie. Its not worth working 70 hours per week and I wont bother to spend an hour listing all the other things that are not worth a career at ERAC
