Interviewed Jul 2011 in Denver, CO (took 4 days)
I was called for an interview, the interviewer had a busy schedule and I felt a little rushed to answer the questions quickly rather than have a second to think over my response.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Fairfield, CT (took 4+ weeks)
Just want to say make sure you make a list of all the questions people listed here and be ready to have examples. Furthermore, be prepared to be interrupted while giving examples and be prompted to do on the go role playing.
I have my last and 3rd in person interview tomorrow with the regional vice president. I am preparing to talk about my career aspirations and prove to them I am serious about joining Enterprise and specifically why.
First time in my life have interviewers easily believed me that I am hard working and dedicated. The real challenge is proving to them I can think on my toes and respond under pressure. Lastly, don't say anything that can be taken negatively. You can't show them that you have ever thought twice about doing anything in life. You can't show them that you aren't an aggressive sales person. They will take simple examples you give and turn them against you. So be prepared!
Have at least 3 examples for all the major questions listed on this website. Have a solid reason for joining enterprise. Make sure you wear a suit to the interview and take a deep breath and be confident. The reason they are testing you so hard is because the interview process is equivalent to training. They know you are fresh out of college with limited work experience and they want to see if you have it in you to analyze your experiences and figure out your flaws and improve them.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Phone interview - pretty basic, they are just going over your information and why do you want to work for Enterprise
Face to face interview with recruiter - she asked many questions, such as: tell me about a time you had an agry customer. She passed me on to the next interview that same day.
Face to face interview and branch observation with an area manager: I enjoyed this day, I was able to see what a day was like working there and how busy it was. The area manager was really nice and asked the same questions as the recruiter. He also told me more about the job. 2 days later I found out he ended up passing me on to the next interview.
The final interview is with the regional manager: this interview was more of a grilling session. He intimidates you and even though I am normally fine with interviews, this guy made it very hard.
This is the part that upset me: my last interview was on a Tuesday, I waited a week and didn't hear anything. I called the area manager and come to find out he was out of town and no one seemed to know the status of the job. Finally I received an email on Friday saying I did not get the job after having to make several calls to find out if I had the position.
Overall I do not understand why they make their interview process so difficult when all you are is a glorified car washer and selling people things they don't need. I really wanted this job just to pay off a few things, but it is probably better that I didn't get the job.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Columbus, OH (took 3 weeks)
I applied online and received a call from a recruiter the next day. The initial interview was held over the phone with the area recruiter. She asked several questions about my background and resume, and asked why I was interested in the position at Enterprise.
The next week I was invited in for a one on one interview with the same recruiter. She asked several behavioral questions and inquired about my sales abilities and experience. I have little sales experience (at least no directly measurable experience) so I did my best to exaggerate my abilities. Overall, the recruiter was cheerful, genuinely interested, albeit incredibly robotic.
After my face-to-face interview I did not hear back from the recruiter for several days, so I called her to figure out where I stood in the interview process. She apologized for not getting back to me and told me that she wanted to set up another interview, this time at a local branch. This interview lasted roughly 3 hours and consisted of a period of observation and two interviews; one with the area manager and the other with the branch manager. I interviewed with the area manager first. He was very nice, was genuinely interested in my responses and asked almost the exact same questions as the recruiter during the previous interview. Then, I met with the area manager. He was not as easy-going and friendly as the area manager, but was still a good guy. He asked the exact same questions as the area manager. Overall, I left the interview thinking that I had the job already.
A few days later, I got an impersonal email from the original recruiter stating that I had not been selected for the position. After responding to her and the branch manager, I was told that I hadn't shown enough desire to succeed in a sales environment. The branch manager ultimately made the call and after thinking back about my time with him, I now realize how much he emphasized a need to succeed and compete.
Having said that, I would suggest EMPHASIZING YOUR DESIRE TO SUCCEED IN SALES, as well as PROVING YOUR SALES ABILITIES in you already have sales experience. I did the best I could to prove that I'm a customer-focused, generally intelligent person, but they didn't want me because I don't have sales experience.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 2 days)
After the first initial contact via email, there was a phone interview soon after. Once the phone interview was over they asked me to come into the office for a face-to-face interview. During the face-to-face interview, they asked pretty much the same questions as they asked druring the phone interview. The questions were typical interview questions. Questions like what did you do in your last job, what do you know about the company, why do you want to work for the company, how would your previous employer describe you and so on.
When I went to the office for the face-to-face interview, there were other people in the lobby wainting to be interviewed by different people but for the same job. The office was quiet and there weren't anything that stood out. It was a normal corporate office.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 5 days)
A recruiter called and asked if I could come in for an initial interview. She asked me questions about where im from, how I heard of the job, my personality, and what I think about certain situations. When she noticed I was serious she then started talking about setting up an interview with the area manager and doing a branch observation. Two days later was my branch observation and interview with the area manager. He asked me what I thought of the branch observation, If I could work in that type of environment, how I am qualified for the position, how I view customers and others like that. Before the end of the day, the area manager called me back and said he would like to schedule a interview with the group rental manager the next day. When I went to meet with him, he asked questions pertaining to how long do I see myself with the company. He initially wanted to make sure I was clean-cut, friendly, had the confidence one needs to excel in the position and that I was willing to be with the company and buy into their program for a very long time. HE wanted to make sure they were not going to spend money training me, pushing me to exceed, and then giving up and quitting because I got discouraged. After that interview, the group rental manager called me later the same day and offered me a position.

There is really no negotiating with Enterprise. They have a management program of which they go by, no one gets paid any differently unless they have a different title. everyone starts in the same position and works their way to different management levels.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Online application was very detailed and required more than one hour to complete. After submitting final answers, posted comment requested following directions below. The directions I was given required me to answer a 100 "intelligence/personality" type questions. These questions were similar to Myers Briggs preference or normal response. Online application was complete once this sections was finished.
Received email confirming my application stating recruiter would contact within five days. Exactly five days later, a phone call scheduled a phone interview for the next day. That interview included "story-telling" such as tell me a time when you handled an unhappy customer or a time when you were given conflicting directions from different members of management team. The half hour interview ended and I was told to expect an email with further instructions within a week. One week later, an email stated that they were pursuing other applicants and thanking me for my interest. Although I was not offered a position, regular communication made the interviewing process very professional.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
I had a 10 minute interview and then I was called in for a 1:1 Interview. The lady was energetic, easy going, and joyful. She asked for a time of when I had to motivate others to sell something. She then asked of a time when I was needed to go over and beyond to assist the customer. She then proceeded to ask of how I dealt with an angry customer. Everyone was very polite and greeted me accordingly. They were all dressed in business attire.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
No big surprises here. One interesting note was that despite being a smaller office, there were interviewees coming left and right. Be prepared for a lot of stiff competition! The interview itself was straightforward: What are your goals, how do you deal with adversity, and so on. Everyone at the office seemed pretty friendly.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 3 days)
They contact you after a few days of filling out the application, usually thru email. Eventually you move onto a phone interview, then an in person interview. I didn't make it past the phone interview, and I felt that I did it well. Although when I asked the recruiter, it seems they base it off of your resume experience mostly.
