2.9None that would be successfully implemented. I worked my way up to Branch Manager in both the rent a car, then rent a truck divisions. In every case the culture at this company is paramount. If you fit into that culture (aggressive salesperson, good with people but only so far as they will help your own advancement--just like all businesses, I guess, and willing to work long hours and jeopardize your family life) then you will advance. The culture is so strong in fact, I found it almost cult-like in that you MUST not just work hard and perform, but doing so fitting their profile for what a Manager should look like and act like. I was employed by Enterprise for 11 years and while I would definitely go back and do it again given what I learned, I would make some distinct changes and would definitely NOT do it for as long as I did. 3-5 years is your sweet spot unless you are a super-achiever.
The ideas which the company operates under are very sound, but they should look at the way the regional offices implements these ideas. I know that everyone is competing against each other for promotions, however, some of the strongest reasons that I had for leaving the company were these: 1) I asked my area manager at my six month review where I was going to be working for the next three months and he told me in Woodland. I signed a new lease and within two weeks he moved me to Citris Heights (35 minutes away) 2) After a 13 hour day, being REQUIRED to go to a United Way meeting to encourage us to donate, and since we worked at the auto mall office, all the food and drinks were gone. 3) When said forms were handed out to donate, I did not. Two weeks later, my area manager took me out to lunch, asking me how I liked everything and how things were going. I said fine and he implied to me that donating to the United Way is part of the promotion process, as I would have to encourage others to donate. 4) When I caught mononucleosis, I was talked to about the number of days that I missed work, even though my assistant manager, my manager, my area manager, and HR had a copy of the doctor's note saying that I might need to miss work from time to time until I was healthy.
1.4Looking for a job 6 months - 8 years out of Enterprise, your only ability/experience out of Enterprise will only be sales. Growth in management outside of Enterprise is through internal highering, so you are only training for being an Enterprise Manager, don't be fooled. Your hourly pay will not increase after you are a management trainee, you will just work more hours to make-up for your pay. For example, you, your co-employee assistant and management crew in the area will go to mandatory meetings on top of 50-60 hour work weeks.(Look up the labor law lawsuits with Enterprise on Google) Meanwhile, upper management was promoted based off their ability to have no integrity with customers. They do this by selling themselves and a product with no integrity. The communication and workplace is based off of lies and un-accomplishable expectations, no matter the circumstance. This causes you to hate customers, your manager, and even yourself. Next, the higher you grow with Enterprise, the faster you are released, unless you have luck in numbers. Most numbers are based on military, dealership, traveling, and city economic growth numbers. You have no ability to change the amount of growth or average salary in a city. Also, discrimination is a part of the culture. You will notice that females will get promoted faster and will be hired more often than males. This keeps them an equal opportunity employer, while the women intuitively leave causing more turnover.
My suggestion, if you like the pay as an assistant or branch manager, wait for growth in a job you like, and wait tables as a second job meanwhile. You will work less hours and make the same pay to start.
