As a Management Trainee I get $9.98/hr. Anything over 40hrs in a week
gets 1.5 times wage (just under $15/hr). If you make it through one
year of employment you receive a $750 bonus. If you send up a sales
lead to the car sales department and they sell the car, you get a $100
bonus (0-2 cars is realistic for the first year of employment). If you
send a corporate account lead that signs up and rents above the minimum
requirement thru the first 3 months, you get $100 bonus (0-2 qualifying
leads is realistic for the first year of employment). Throughout the
year there are other assorted contests which may get you $50-$100
depending on how your branch does or how you sell damage waiver during
the contest period. These rewards add maybe $100-$500 to your pay for
the year.
The health benefits are o.k. and they do offer a 401(k) plan (no
matching) if you somehow have money left over from your paycheck.
Vacation time in the first year of employment accrues by the month. For
each month you work you get one paid (9.5 hours) day off, up to a
maximum of 7 days in your first year. Unless you call in sick, you
usually have to get days off approved by your area manager in advance,
which means that you better be first in line for holidays, Fridays, or
Mondays off. These are the busiest days and Enterprise is usually short-
staffed so you are unlikely to get those days off without advance notice
and good luck.
After 4-5 years of employment you vest for profit-sharing and other
stuff, but the odds of anyone lasting that long are so slim that they
don't really talk much about it and no one really asks about it.
Enterprise does offer opportunities for advancement starting at the 6-9
month range of employment. The testing process for promotion is not
terribly difficult, however sales numbers are the main factor deciding
when and to where you will get promoted. Once promoted to Assistant
Manager your salary will be about $26,500 + commissions based off your
branch's operating profits each month. Big branches with a lot of cars
offer greater commissions than smaller branches. As an Assistant
Manager at a decent-sized branch you'll probably make low $30,000's.
Once promoted, you will begin working even longer hours and usually
will not get a lunch break.
