- You have to clean cars, some of them are pure filth
- The salary/hourly rate is well below minimum wage
- Extremely long hours and you are EXPECTED to stay late, they won't ask you if it's okay, you will just be expected to keep working, even if you have plans. As an example, I had a meal booked for 20:30 one evening and was unable to go because we had to work so late (14 hours in total)
- The recruitment team will sell you a dream that does not exist. Realistically, you start as an Intern /Management Trainee (On 20.5k) and then do 'your file' which takes anywhere from 6-24 months depending on how hard you work at it. From there you get promoted to an MA (Management Assistant on 21.5k) which is where you are able to be promoted to an Assistant Manager (Earning 25-32k depending on the % of branch's profits you earn). Assistant Manager's can float around different branches for years before becoming Branch Managers and even then there is no guarantee they will get a job as a Branch Manager. Once you get to Branch Manager you have 3 choices. Leave the god awful company that is Enterprise (best choice). Work for years and years as a Branch Manager on the hope that you get an Area Manager position (45-60k depending on your area's performance), even though there are ridiculously few positions that are arise very infrequently and they are massively over applied for. Or finally, you take a pay cut and move into one of the early grave roles at head office where you send emails, drink coffee, suck up to senior management, play with the fax machine (Enterprise still use fax machines despite $20bn+ revenues), talk about the weather, ring busy branches/offices to ask them to do tasks you can't be arsed to do... you get the jist just don't work for Enterprise.
