Vantaggi
55% discounts for car rentals. That's the only pro, and only if you like to drive new vehicles every once in a while. Also, if you do some networking you could find a good bodyshop/mechanic that will help you get service done on your own car.
Svantaggi
You will be worked to the ground. If you are at any of the city branches, you will pretty much be doing the work of five different people. Anything that is required to run a car rental business you have to do. That includes greeting customers, setting up contracts, selling phony protection products (they call in protection so as to not get into a lawsuit about calling it insurance), driving customers to and from areas, cleaning cars, managing your rental fleet and calling customers and bodyshops. You do all this for $17 an hour, 10 hours a day, five days a week. Every morning, you arrive to the branch at 7:00AM. You will check in any cars that were dropped in last evening, then be flooded at 7:30AM with phone calls and customers looking to pick up a rental. Some days you get a bit of respite, but on most days you are non-stop in and out of the store, doing many jobs at once. You do this with a staff that's at most six people (which includes the car preps and drivers if any), and can be as low as two people at times. If you're lucky, you get an hour break sometime in the middle before resuming to non-stop work. Forget your life if you work at Enterprise; Your branch and area manager will consistently text you after work to see how you're doing, and you will spend most of your waking hours making money for the company. At the end of the day, you're too exhausted to do anything but eat some food, get some sleep and prepare for the next day. On the days that you do have a day off, you're so worn out that you want to do nothing except lay in bed all day. At the end of every shift when you clock out at 6PM, you can't help but get the feeling that you are being ripped off. You know for certain that you being there brings in more profits for the company than they pay you in wages. Some branches will be making a profit of $200,000+ every month, most of which gets siphoned back to the United States and to the Taylor Family. They show you these numbers, meanwhile you look at your pay-stub where you got paid $2,800 a month, and that's including the fact that you worked 60 hour weeks. You are a cog in the machine when you work for Enterprise; The Taylor Family will suck as much labor value as they can off of you, solely due to the fact that they have a bunch of money to buy cars to rent out. Getting promoted will be impossible unless you bleed and dream Enterprise; You will be expected to go after-hours to "networking events" and study for tests in order to receive promotions. Your ability to get promoted is solely based on your sales. Don't get mistaken; the only way to truly get promoted is to either push this Collision Damage Waiver onto customers, or lie about the usefulness of the product in order to convince uninformed customers to part with their money. It offers absolutely no benefits to the customer, and Enterprise will often try to go through that customer's insurance company first before they pay out for any repairs for damage. They recruit from the Reserve Army of the Unemployed; You will mostly work from newly arrived immigrants who cannot get better opportunities at the moment, or desperate recent college graduates who are having troubles finding a job. Nobody really likes working there, but they have to because they see no other option. Very few people last with Enterprise, and that is part of their recruiting model. They will attract you, extract as much surplus value as they can from you and spit you out, only to rinse and repeat with another unsuspecting, desperate worker. Honestly, a minimum-wage job at a grocery store is miles better than this job.
