Enterprise Mobility reviews

- Low pay : The salary is advertised as competitive however even if you only worked the minimum contracted hours of 50 per week, at an annual salary of £20,000 you are only earning roughly the UK minimum wage. -No commission: As a trainee you receive no commission for any upselling of products, you also do not receive any sort of bonus for any corporate accounts you set up - despite the potential for some businesses to spend a large aamount of money. Even if you make it to Assistant manager the 'commission' is more akin to an unfair profit sharing system which is essentially a pyramid scheme - You can lose money for simply not renting a car that is in your fleet overnight, the money which you lose is then paid to the much higher up bosses -Progression is greatly exaggerated: Your first promotion from Trainee to Managment Assistant can be as quick or slow as you make it, however this promotion equates to a payrise from 20,000 per annum to 21000 per annum, the chances of getting an assitant manager role is unlikely to come around that quick as there are so many 'MA's' who want to get to that position and again it gets worse when going to Branch manager - these positions are limited to the number of branches something they fail to think about when advertising the job. Hours - The amount of hours are horrendous, everyone thinks when they start they will be able to deal with it but its worse than you think. on average the hours are about 60 a week which is over 20 more than the national average. Think about it, when signing the contract you have to opt out of the working time directives, essentially having to give up your right to a work life balance - if they're contractually obliging you to do this then its obvious no one is truly happy to do it. Mostly just drive around all day

The MT&MA's job is to sell car insurance while helping customers rent cars. You are ranked against every other employee each morning. 95% of customers have their own insurance and therefore, don't need it! You are expected to sell to 30% and your sales and tenure are the only metric used to determine promotions. Employees are hourly workers who must punch in. You must work a minimum 50 hour week including weekends. You must conform to a business formal dress code even in 100 degrees. And yes, you will occasionally wash cars, in your best clothes, in 100 degree heat. At least the car preps get to wear t-shirts. If you can hold out for 4 years under these conditions (affectionately known as "the grind") you will be rewarded with a small 100 car branch in the exurbs where you can begin your real career in rental. From there it gets pretty good with salary, loaner cars, etc. Turnover in the first 2 years in Central Texas Group was about 80% due to this culture.
