Pros
ERAC is a Fortune 500 sized organization. As such, from time to time, there are opportunities for people to move from department to department. If you can find the right opportunity, one where ERAC is building a new business or a leader has left, then you can call it a good opportunity. If you like a military like environment, one where you are told what to do and you are graded on how well you conform to the rules (that are, unfortunately, unwritten), then you will love ERAC. If you are hired at a rental branch and 'grow' within the company, which means absorbing what is thrown at you, then I *think* you can eventually find a role. Keep in mind, the company's model is to hire 'c' average, socially inclined college graduates. In other words, college graduates that don't have other opportunities. As such, those are the people that you will work with at the company. Experienced, manager and above, hires have a high probability that they will not like the company at all. Those that I saw hired in when I was brought into IT have also left the company. If you like trying to figure out a bunch of unwritten social rules, while performance is virtually ignored, then this company is for you. Unfortunately for those that like to perform, this is not a company that you will enjoy, especially IT. And, to be clear, the company thinks 'big money' is $100,000 per year. For some roles on the business side that makes sense. For IT roles it is way out of whack. Just don't settle for what are good words that you'll here; unfortunately, they aren't true.
Cons
ERAC is not a people-friendly place. Jack's background was in the military, so it is run like a quasi-governmental entity (ala the military). Additionally, it is a family-run company and they mix family with the business and you are expected to conform to a lot of the family values, including politics and social ideals. If you like to think and solve problems, then you likely won't enjoy a role at the company. Want to be measured on how well you perform and your achievements? Find another company. Want competent senior management? Find another company. To be fair, ERAC has had a lot of success in growing the company and in past years. I think what happened is they grew to be very arrogant, because of their success. I always say that arrogance begets incompetence. And, unfortunately for ERAC, the model of buying and owning cars for rental (as opposed to leasing them) has absolutely imploded on them. Apparently, the Taylor family is putting money back into the company. That is not a good sign for anyone involved in the company now. My guess is they will start rolling people out of the company. Officers in the company can and will be pushed out. Additionally, they are often overpaid. Because of this model, the officers 'pick' people that they like and believe are only a little less competent than themselves. They don't want anyone that performs well to stick around at the company. In a very perverse way, that threatens their own existence. So, if you ask questions and perform well, expect to receive a raft of trouble. And don't expect to receive any assistance. In fact, expect some level of sabotage from all levels of the organization. Unfortunately, they've setup a system with bad incentives and the people behave poorly, because of it. They told me before I joined as an experienced senior manager that there was a very low level of politics in the company. It couldn't be further from the truth.

A good place to start right out of college. Room to stay with the company for life if you like it.

Pros
If you need a job right out of college that will be great experience for the rest of your career in or outside of ERAC. There are lots of jobs within Enterprise that you can take, and you can choose how you want to advance through the company. The people who work there are young and like to have fun at work. Friendly and competitive environment makes the job fun. The day goes by really fast since you are so busy all day long.
Cons
Long hours and low pay the first year. Some customers truly do not want to be renting from you and will make your life as difficult as possible.
