  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have learnt a few new skills since doing my apprenticeship. The most useful of these would be learning various methods of tracking future goals and targets.The work has been valuable and I have learnt new skills. I have had to re sit GCSE exams due to the length of time passed since I did these and that has helped me to develop my old skills

  • 4. How valued do you feel by Enterprise Rent-A-Car?
  • I work on a team of 8 people, which includes my coordinator and supervisor. As it is a small team, everything I do is valued a lot and this is reflective in my monthly reviews and acknowledgement from my supervisor by giving me increased responsibilities. I feel as a company on the whole, they should do a lot more to acknowledge the UK employees. The employees in the US have far more employee benefits and are able to gain discounts on a lot more than the UK employees are.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I am extremely happy with the way my mentor organizes my work. I am given a realistic amount of time between each meeting to complete the work set for me. I have been given enough support to allow me to progress through the program at my own speed.

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • I have had a few breaks from the program due to personal reason and on each time, my instructor was understanding and offered a alternative work arrangement which met my needs. In terms of work, it is clearly set what is required of me in each meeting we have, which I am more than happy with.

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • My manager and coordinator are extremely supportive of me doing the apprenticeship. my coordinator has previously completed one so they recognize the skills you can gain from completing it. I am given around an hour a week to complete work within work hours on top of the time I have outside of work.

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • I have just purchased my first house. Before this my salary was more than enough and mainly was spent on savings toward a house. Now I have a house my salary is enough to pay bills and daily cost such as food, but I don't really have any costs to cover the social aspect anymore.

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • Every few months the company offers charity work within the local community. I have been involved in a number of these events. I like doing these as I get a sense of achievement that I rarely get from my daily job. Various departments often play football against each other outside of work, which I sometimes am involved in.

  • 9. Would you recommend Enterprise Rent-A-Car to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Although there are many things the company should do differently, I feel Enterprise Rent a Car is a good company to work for. they provide a lot of opportunity to grow individually as well as finding a lot of good people to work for them, which creates a nice work atmosphere.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Enterprise Rent-A-Car?
  • Before applying, find out if anyone you know works for Enterprise Rent a Car as they have an employee referral program, where if an employee refers someone that is successful in gaining a job, they are given anywhere between £500 to £1500 depending on how many people they have referred. Obviously this could be shared with the applicant. away from that, I would recommend doing a bit of research on the company as it would benefit you when being interviewed.
