Advice to Senior Management

offer performance bonuses!

Pros

Management is very supportive and involved in your progression. They have high standards that they expect their employees to follow, but they give you sufficient training and support to accomplish the goals.

Cons

Since the company is retail focused, some of the more innovative flexible hour schedules (such as 4 10-hour workdays) are not available.

Although Enterprise is generally viewed as a great place to start your career, many people I know do not view Enterprise as a great company to stick with long term.

Pros

One of the best training programs out there...you work your way from the bottom up, and if you are a hard worker and learn how to "play the game", you will go far.

Cons

The work life balance isn't great and you have to have a thick skin, because the customers you have to deal with aren't always the nicest.

Pros

Great experience with great people

Cons

Hours are rough, as is the pay.

Pros

good co-workers, positive culture, flexible with time off

Cons

only ranked on sales, as an intern did same thing as full time employees if not more

Pros

Pay is quite competitive
Company is WILDLY profitable
IT initiatives can be challenging
Good employees in IT
Benefits are decent
Work life balance exists depending on team

Cons

Senior Management eats their young
Education is not valued, and advancing your education to graduate or beyond is frowned upon
You must know someone or make an impression on someone to get ahead
Promotions leave you scratching your head as to why
You either make senior manager within 5 years or you will be fired for no reason
Currently firing a lot of management and staff in less that optimal ways (but right-to-work legal lol)
Managers are not encouraged to actually manage and are instead directed to fall in line and act like project managers
Upper management does not communicate well with the down levels which forces people to manage upward
Psychopaths and egomaniacs abound here, in IT anyway
Company is blowing money on worthless initiatives on the software side and allowing so many useless senior managers and directors to shuffle the chairs as the ship slowly sinks
Company is wildly profitable but only takes care of the locals who went to the right high school
At least 30 people in management or otherwise have been fired or forced into early retirement since the first of the year. So much chaos.
Company allows complete psychopaths to run certain IT departments. Once again, the only motivation these morons have is the elusive "Level 3" position. So, they use and abuse you and will throw you under the bus immediately if it means a promotion or even a glimpse of that carrot.

Advice to Senior Management

Get a clue. Your systems are old. It is hard to attract talent that wants to stay for very long. You eat your young and do not encourage managers to focus on any of the people aspects of their job. Instead, managers are allowed to drift aimlessly from meeting to meeting and ignore their teams. As a manager you are expected only to track a bunch of dumb projects and you get no input or advice from upper management. No support. It's a pretty chaotic place to work in IT right now, no doubt about it. I am scrambling to find a different position ASAP.

Pros

great training program where they teach you how to run your own business as well as the ins and outs of the business

Cons

long work hours and at times it feels as if you will never be able to grill due to the amount of sales and numbers you need

Pros

Great opportunity to build relationships and networks. Opportunity for promotion seems optimal in the beginning. Great resume builder. Skills learned are beneficial for future opportunities.

Cons

LONG hours. Promotes work life balance, but that is NOT typically the case. Did I mention LONG hours? Take your pay rate including commissions and divide it by the hours worked and you will find yourself making less than minimum wage in most cases.

Advice to Senior Management

Be more engaging and understanding. Always place yourself in the MT's or ASM's shoes. Every person entering the MT program want to be successful and in most cases can thrive with your support. Work as a team!
