Interviewed Dec 2010 in Austin, TX (took 3 weeks)
Applied online, got a call from a HR rep maybe a week later to go in for an interview. A week after that I go in for the interview which lasted 10 mins maybe. I got a call offering me the job from the manager and had to go do a training a few days after that. Did the training which was about an hour long and started working a couple days after that.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Dallas, TX (took 5 days)
Actually rented a car from Enterprise after being in an accident (not my fault) and got to talking to the guy (a Management trainee). Talked about how he got the job and how long he'd been there. etc. He recommended I apply online and sent an e-mail to his Talent Acquisition Specialist to expect my application. I applied two days later, received an e-mail and call the next day to come in for an interview later that week (no phone interview). Interviewed with the TAS, it was somewhat short (30 minutes or so) but I felt I answered the questions well, wasn't sure I'd get the 2nd interview. The next day, got a call from her to schedule a two-part 2nd interview with an hour observation at a branch and then an interview with an Area Manager.
2nd interview was scheduled for 8AM, came in and introduced myself to the staff (including the guy who referred me, who was there) and talked with them for 15-20 minutes. Luckily it was early and not busy yet, so got to talk with them about the job and company. All were enthusiastic, engaging, and seemed to like their job. Very back and forth with me. Then the branch manager came out and talked with me, was real enthusiastic, talked to me for 30 minutes again talking about the job, selling the company and advancement opportunities. Then was told I needed to go to another location to interview with the area manager (1/2 mile away, so who cares). Interviewed with him, was pretty intense and no fluff. Went well. Was e-mailed the next day by the recruiter to do the final inteview with a Regional VP later that same day. Could not make it. Area Manager called me the next day to debrief our interview and offered me.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Base salary plus bonuses. I don't think they do negotiation, as it's essentially an entry-level position and you have the opportunity to earn more based on production. Which is fair.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 3 weeks)
ERAC called me up after seeing my resume on an online job site and asked me several questions about my post graduate plans. I told them I was interested in the job, but I was not impressed with the strict starting salary of 32k/yr even with extensive sales experience. However, I went in for the 1:1 interview with a young lady who was very cool and sold the job as well. I got excited and did some research on the company. The next interview was an observation and 1:1 with the area manager. I was not pleased with the hours the workers work for the pay, over 60 hours weekly. The job did not look that stressful, but I interviewed with the area manager and she like me a lot. Next I interviewed with the VP of the region and he offered me a job.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
After careful consideration and being offered another entry level position for 45k/yr I declined the offer. The job seemed to demanding and difficult for upward mobility. Some say they have been working for a couple years in the same position, one lady has been there for 10 years!
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Presentation.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Plano, TX (took 2 days)
The Enterprise Management in Training Interview Process was a fairly easy one. During my first interview, I met with the recruiter and she asked a question or two about my sales experience, customer service experience, and leadership experience. She explained a bit of the job description to me and focused on the competitive aspect of it, saying that each trainee is ranked amongst their peers in regards to sales, customer service, and two other categories. I had an observation of a branch in the area and met with an assistant branch manager and a manager in training. Both were friendly and told me that they loved working for Enterprise, but neither one sounded too convincing. In the second interview, I met with a branch manager and an area manager where they asked me some questions along the same lines as the first interview. When asked what my dream job was, I answered a bit too truthfully and that swayed the interview in a negative direction. All in all, from my impression, employees put in a minimum of 55 hours a week for a not so competitive pay. They push the idea of being able to move up quickly, noticing that basically everyone I met with was under 30 (I could only assume that they have a pretty high turnover rate with so many young people). Friendly people and environment, but unless you enjoy sitting behind a desk for 12 hours and dealing with usually perturbed customers that need to rent a car, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Pomona, CA (took a day)
The phone interview is more or less just giving you, the prospect, information about the position, company, and interview. Questions were asked but not really considered. The 1:1 was difficult (for me) because it was late afternoon, the interviewer was clearly not in the mood when she finally got around to interviewing me (her last candidate) 30 minutes after our scheduled time, and the questions were tougher than I expected considering I had the phone interview Wednesday and was asked to come in the next day. Although it's a "management" position THEY REALLY WANT SALESPEOPLE. I thought this was funny considering I have NEVER been sold, or attemped to have been sold to, by an Enterprise employee and I have used them often! My impression is that they are only interested in NEW, YOUNG GRADS who are just starting their careers. If you are an older new grad, I'd advise you to disguise it somewhat in your resume and responses if you're younger looking.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 4 weeks)
I was contacted by a hiring manager to schedule an interview for the position. The interview was pleasant and the interviewer told me that the next step would be a 2nd interview, which they called me to schedule the same day. I went for the 2nd interview, and got a feel of what it is like to work there. After that the Regional Manager interviewed me which was also very basic and straight to the point. He told me that they would decide within a week about their decision. It has been more than 2 weeks now and they have not responded yet.
