Pros

After Enterprise changes began in 2015 there are no "pros" left. Used to be a good company to work for but not any longer.

Cons

Lack of flexibility (sick family/children), every moment is monitored and timed. Your actual break is also supposed to be used for bathroom breaks. Don't drink too much water! High stress environment, Positions were eliminated and pay cuts ensued (some losing $20,000 a year) all positions were "ended" and you had to reapply for your job (even those that had 20+ years in) which created an extremely stressful environment. You are only able to move up to management if you're willing to relocate to anywhere they place you in the US and Puerto Rico. 8 years ago I would have given this company 5 stars in every category but as of 2015 it has gotten really bad. Also - If there is an issue with a manager, upper management is useless. A warning to everyone looking at this company- there is an extremely high number of people leaving, there's a reason for that.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
