The Role
Enterprise is a great job which prepares you for a successful career. It tests your resolve, rigor and adaptability; all whilst improving your sales and service skills. However, with that comes a demanding workplace that will expect a lot from you as you represent one of the world's biggest companies.
As far as colleagues go you can't fault the people who you work with. You get to meet so many different people, from a wide range of departments and job roles. With that means if you ever feel uneasy or not confident in what you've been asked to do, there is a pool of people willing to help.
My experience of management was excellent. I worked for a manager who pushed me but supported me the whole way. The work can be tough but never was I asked to do something that he wasn't willing to do himself or had done before. This goes the same for my assistant managers and managers who I worked under whilst covering other branches.
My experience may be different to others, but I did experience a heavy workload due to a staffing shortage during my placement. However, you do build up a toughness to it and you learn what you're capable of. Management are understanding and everyone's in the same boat so you get through it together.
Whilst starting the work is eased onto you with a fair amount of support, but with the role of management trainee, you are expected to take on more responsibility the more you learn. By the time my placement finished I was helping with decisions and acting as adviser to management when they were running the day. The only thing more would've been for me to be in the chair.
Definitely gained skills for life that will carry over into any job in the future.
The Company
A good balance between professionalism and workplace banter. Exactly what's needed when you spend so much time with the team.
Despite a couple minor bumps the recruitment process was near seamless.
The company wants to invest into you and you are potentially the future managers. You definitely feel valued.
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
There is definitely an appeal to working for Enterprise. The progression is there and ready for you. I'm considering going part time whilst back at uni.
The Culture
There are many of opportunities to go out for drinks or social events with your branch or other branches; more so with local branches.
Due to being a global company they can position you close to home, I lived at home so saved on paying rent. So can't complain.
Same as socialising. The opportunities are there.
