Cons

Advice to Senior Management
better initial trianing
Pros
As long as you work hard and perform, growth and compensation are there. You have to be a seller and driven otherwise you get lost and discouraged. If you are a great seller, you get rewarded with dinner, outings, and happy hours although the region does put on happy hours (beer and wine only) for the entire region.
Cons
The hours are long (50-55 hours) and the initial compensation is not very good. The job can be stressful trying to help ungrateful customers, make customers completely satisfied, control costs, sell, grow your branch (marketing) and motivate employees.
Advice to Senior Management
Instead of spending everyone's money on medallion's, key chains and tissue boxes; give your hard working employees a raise or throw them a holiday party like the old days!
Pros
If you have no direction after college, Community College, or High School with sales or business experience, this will give you a good or bad taste of the corporate business model.
Cons
Long hours, long weeks, washing cars in suits and ties, people complaining and stiffing you on the payment, that scumbagery affecting your performance as a branch. People laughing at you when you offer them rental car insurance only total or wreck the rental car and now have to come by and make payments for the next 10 years. Your dealing with the good and bad of society that needs a car and they have a money order, license and telephone bill are you going to rest your "performance" on rolling the dice? Welcome to ERAC, What happens at ERAC stays at ERAC within the cult of car rental and water cooler talk while they ask you juggle hand grenades while tickling monkeys, Literally... in truth figuratively as anything they want to promote you or retard you is at their (Upper Management) fingertips. Moving bad employees to your branch to see if you can get them to sell or giving up your best cars and taking beaters and still maintain IPC numbers oh the fun.... (Yawn.) When you actually get a Sunday off to stop and think where your real life went, it is too late and already time to do it all over again. Fun-dangerous-cut throat-loyal and dis loyal- all at your fingertips once you survive (the fire walk of death) to Branch management, most will not make it this far; only to realize that you are now in MATRIX where new things can hurt you, invisible things....
Advice to Senior Management
Re-Visit the business model. Does the cult cutthroat favoritism model work? Be prepared for the truth and ask employees anonymously (employees) will not trust that it is truly anonymous, that cultish BTW... You can't afford much until you get into management 2-3 years. Even then it is fickle. At least offer a more balanced work life balance. Don't wait until good people that bleed dark green burn out. Look at how many awesome people have come and gone. Where would ERAC be if they kept a 3rd of them, what was their gripe, money and time. Don't be so greedy. You could have made this the most corporate job to be desired. I had so many ideas to share, but because you only cared about your self I had to step back and see the real shape of things. A pyramid with very few that survive the politics, going broke, secretly being hated because of your loyalty to someone else that might be hated oh yes all true, and maybe you can make it to the very top only to do it all over again. Can't it just be a job or career? Or do we really need to make blood oath to a cabal in order to make it into inner circle? Andy Taylor don't know *ish about what really runs ERAC. But the whispers of ghosts in the hallways do....boo!
Pros
you get to work with great people
Cons
the company is becoming to corporate.
Advice to Senior Management
I think you need to re-evaluate your performance criteria. You also need to listen your managers, especially when it comes to staffing your branches.

Raise salaries
