Career Opportunities
Management Trainee
Management Trainee Intern

Enterprise is recognized as one of corporate America’s leading management development organizations by allowing you to run your own business, hire and manage your own team, and gain crucial business training in a very short period of time. The Management Training program is often referred to as an “MBA crash course” because from day one, you will actively participate in everything from sales and marketing, to customer service, to accounting and finance. The Management Trainee Internship (summer only) is like Business 101 on 10 cups of coffee or speed reading through the best business text books. We offer college students entering their senior year paid internships where they learn highly marketable skills pertaining to every aspect of running a successful business.

At Enterprise, your hard work is rewarded and your career is put on the fast track. Enterprise believes almost exclusively in promoting from within. A belief supported by the fact that nearly 100% of our senior management started out as management trainees. Trainees typically receive one or more promotions within their first year, and many double their salaries upon becoming branch managers. Branch manager perks also include salaried pay, commissions, and company car privileges.

From the moment you join Enterprise, you will be able to make important business decisions and you will continue to experience unlimited opportunities for advancement and pay increases based your performance and initiative. It’s a formula for success many at Fortune 500’s can only wonder about and many MBA’s can only envy.

Job Requirements
If you are career-minded, goal-oriented and have a background in sales, management, marketing, or customer service, you are an ideal candidate. You should also have a strong desire to excel within a busy team, sales and customer-driven environment. A college degree is preferred and a valid driver’s license and good driving record is a must. For the Management Trainee Internship, candidates must be entering their senior year, and within two semesters of graduation.
