Great company if you buy into the enterprise way. Otherwise- awful awful job.
Pros
Great Progression opportunities. Can get promoted to high positions fairly quickly with a clear progression path. Driving nice cars can be a plus. Range rovers, Mercedes c class, bmw 5 series etc.
Cons
No work life balance. Overtime is not voluntary but mandatory. Generally will easily do 12 hour days and 60 hour weeks. The pay isn’t great considering the hours you work. Expected to work alternate weekends and if your unlucky enough to get a seven day branch you will be in on sundays too! You will be exhausted and have no time to do anything other than work and go home. Sales culture is toxic. No commission but pushed to achieve ever increasing sales targets. If a customer has their own hire car insurance, you will still be pushed to sell them enterprises ‘insurance’ as well. Why would a customer buy insurance twice. Some sales techniques are unethical, for example lying to customers about their excess on the car. Sometimes forced to drive and rent to customers unsafe vehicles with bald tyres / no break pads or not disinfected/ cleaned from the last customer ( a Covid no no). Can spend long hours driving vehicles. Doing deliveries or going long distance to pick up cars. Some days you can be driving all day. Very exhausting when you’re working minimum 7.30am to 6pm. Very stressful environment.
