in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Having ERAC on your resume does not help at all."

What do you like about working at Enterprise Rent-A-Car?

"Only slightly better than being unemployed. Everything else is basically demoralizing, cheating and intense pressure."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Know what you are getting in to. Very very political. Super high pressure sales of products people don't really need. Many of your peers cheat and lie. There are many backdoor social events where completely and entirely unprofessional things happen regarding business and coworkers. If you don't drink, you will be ostracized."

What don't you like about working at Enterprise Rent-A-Car?

"You do meet very few good people along the way. The company has good founding values, but they don't live up to them no matter what they claim."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"No advice, most of you are a lost cause and I would rather see you stay where you are so when I finally move on, you won't be there. The new area manager at FLL is a total joke! How she got promoted and not fired is a complete mystery and proof this company has their priorities completely messed up."

Area Manager at Enterprise Rent-A-Car

What do you like about working at Enterprise Rent-A-Car?

"As with any company, your peers make or break you. There there a few rare genuine people."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Get in good the good 'ole boys club right away - promotions are based on politics."

What don't you like about working at Enterprise Rent-A-Car?

"Constantly threatened to perform or be written up. Can receive write-ups every single week. Senior leadership managers by numbers and not personalities. Therefore they will never get the best out of their people. Manage entirely through intimidation and is a thankless job. Where is the praise we hired you to perform well, we expect it! Training is a joke, it is all OJT except for a couple nights in a training center where you really learn nothing except that the trainer is a joke too. I hate that I still work 70 hours a week for 7 years now. If you work less, your offices will likely not be successful or someone will backstab you because you must not be committed."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would have a process in place that makes sure that the employee feedback surveys are honest and that in the feedback (by region) we can actually see the good/bad/ugly and participate in the plans to correct them. ALL WITHOUT INTIMIDATION! The current process is bogus because even though they say it is anonymous, your direct superiors threaten you every day."

"Do not simply forward messages with see below written. Send out communication with the why included, and not just the what, so that area managers can communicate the value of decisions to the team uniformly."
