Talked at a career fair at my university, she emailed me some available times to come interview and I picked. The recruiter was very nice when I arrived at the corporate office..but she conveniently left out some MAJOR details at the job fair..when I got to the corporate office one of the first things she told me was, "this internship is very competitive, there is only one position available for the the entire area (2 branches) and I have been interviewing people back to back all week". That sort of made me feel like I was wasting my time right off the bat. I knew right away even if I knocked this interview out of the park, it would be a long shot to receive an offer. During the interview, she changed gears big time telling me about the job description. At the career fair she made it out to be like it job of all jobs for people looking to get into the corporate world, experience in marketing, finance, accounting, I will be making crucial business decisions, ect. and during the interview she was basically like you will eat, breath, and sleep SALES and CUSTOMER SERVICE. She made that very clear. She told me verbatim that it was going to be about 70% working the "front line" and 30% doing some behind the scenes stuff. I definitely feel like the job is not as advertised.
Also, I have been in my neighborhood Enterprise RAC with my family looking to rent a van for vacation. I remember the guy that we talked to had sweat literally rolling off his face and I was thinking, why is this guy working the counter profusely sweating? Oh that's right, you'll also find out that you will be washing cars in long sleeves and ties during the middle of the summer.
I also feel that the interviewing process is definitely overkill for an "entry level" job. If you tell people that you are driving to Knoxville (2 hour drive) for an interview at a corporate office, then interview at a local branch, and then back to Knoxville for a third interview they will think you are interviewing for something like the President of a bank, and when you tell them no, it's for a job renting and washing cars in a suit, you will probably be laughed out of the room.
Enterprise certainly thinks too highly of the Management Trainee Program, must have a 4 year degree to sit for interview. Come on, any high school graduate could do this job, but they have so many applicants from where they sell the "this is your key to corporate success" idea. I would not try to get the Management Trainee full time job. With a 4 year business degree, you can find something wayyyyyy better than a Mon-Sat job 40-55 hour a week job that barely breaks the $30,000 a year mark. I just wanted the internship 10 week internship for some resume padding. Still waiting for a response from my recruiter, but my hopes aren't up.
