First, for those of you who did join Enterprise were fully aware of the level of commitment that and Enterprise career entailed, so please, until you have worked their for period longer than a year or two, you really should not be complaining. Second, Since 1957 Enterprise has made significant revenues and profits, (7.4 billion in revenue in 04') continues to expand its operations, and has become one of the largest college recruiters in the country--clearly, they're business model is working. Furthermore, the founding values Jack and Andy Taylor (for those of you who did not stick around long enough, these men founded Enterprise Rent-A-Car in 1957) set forth have enabled them to build a Rent-A-Car business which the rest of the industry (Hertz, Avis, National) envy. In any case, clearly, many of you on commenting on this site were not happy at Enterprise, that's ok, its not for everyone, but there is no reason to bash the company when the truth of the matter is one of two possibilities: either Enterprise was not the right fit for you, or you just could'nt deal with the intensity of the job. Sit and stare at your computer screens, while myself, and the rest of the thousands of successful employees at Enterprise continue to build businesses, careers, and strengthen our communities. Sincerely, A very satisfied MT at Enterprise Rent-A-Car | You make good points, as a systems analyst, I have seen and marveled at the Enterprise machine. A Chines manufature I work with says business is war, I have not seen combat anywhere like combat at Enterprise. All great systems fall onto themselves, do to their great weight, it takes a business person of great wisdom to understand this concept. If you understand you are expendable then you will prosper, if you do not you will not be so lucky. Enterprise is boot camp for the next generation of business people. The new market place is not only more complex than it has ever been but it is also hypercompetitive. Brand loyalty and decent margin are almost gone; the customer has been trained by large companies to get anything and in any quantity they want. A great Economic professor I had said we are living in a Star Trek like future where there is no more need only wants and, the customer wants and wants. I have seen the endless lines. I choose not to work hard but make very good money. I have abandond the protestant work ethic and I am super happy. PACMAN |
