’When business is good we all get rewarded.’

Within a matter of months Sean was promoted to Assistant Manager. And he’s already thinking about his next career move.

I first heard of Enterprise when I was browsing online for a career. They said I’d be trained to run a rental business from day one, and this was a real attraction. I could also tell I’d have a big part to play in the day-to-day running of the business. And this was a far more exciting prospect than just pushing paper and being left out of the loop.

Early involvement

My career with Enterprise kicked off in a new branch in Letterkenny (which is my home town, as it happens). There were just two of us working in the branch, so we had to do lots of marketing, which was a great learning curve and also good fun. As a start-out branch, we were busy with loads of sales calls, but I did have time to pick my manager’s brain. I think that may have had a big part to play in the way I was so quickly promoted.

At Enterprise, the key thing is customer service. If we look after the customer, the customer will come back, which is obviously good for business. And when business is good, we all get rewarded. The level of customer service expected of you becomes second nature after a few days.

Personal development

What I noticed about the company compared to my previous jobs was the massive emphasis on employee development. From day one I was given extensive training on all aspects of management - sales, marketing, staff management, you name it. And because of the quality of the mentoring I received, I was able to achieve a rapid promotion to Assistant Manager. In fact, everything has moved so fast since I joined that I spend a lot of time thinking about my long-term future. I do know that I want to go as far as I possibly can with Enterprise. And the speed of promotion available to you is definitely one of the best things about working here. Everyone in the company is great fun too. We get together regularly for company excursions. It gives you a good chance to socialise with people from other offices and put names to faces. It’s no wonder I always come to work smiling.
