‘I Love My Job’: I Grew From a Management Trainee to a Branch Rental Manager in a Supportive Culture

Welcome to I Love My Job, the series where we hear from women who really love their jobs. In this edition, we sat down with Brielle Ware, a Branch Rental Manager at Enterprise Holdings.

Ware tells us that her favorite part of working at Enterprise Holdings is the people. “I've been with Enterprise for almost two years, and the support system that I received with Enterprise continues to push me,” she tells us. “The encouragement and daily support to become the leader that I am keeps me motivated and allows me to support my own team.”

Ware’s work as a manager and point of contact for her team is what she finds most exciting about her job. “I enjoy driving results through my team, ensuring that they're getting development that they need to advance, and seeing them get promoted,” says Ware. “Seeing them continue to reach the career goals that they have set for themselves is very rewarding.”

In the video below, Ware shares more about why she loves working at Enterprise Holdings. We also provide lightly edited highlights from the video discussion in the following article.

Can you tell us about your career journey at Enterprise Holdings?

I began my career with Enterprise in July of 2021 as a management trainee. I received my first promotion to an assistant branch manager only eight months later. Then, after three short months, I became a branch manager at a large operation: the DFW Airport. Now, I'm in my current role as a branch manager.

How would you describe the culture at Enterprise Holdings?

The culture with Enterprise is very fun. I enjoy working with the people there — the people make a difference at Enterprise. We have different area outings every month [...] and we have branch outings. So, having that culture inside and out of our atmosphere at the branch level is very fun. You have to keep that environment fun to keep employees engaged.

How does Enterprise Holdings support you?

The work-life balance with Enterprise is amazing! There's a lot of flexibility, and I noticed that if I needed time off or if I needed to come in a little late or leave early, my managers were always supportive of that. Now, I carry that mentality on as a manager in order to always ensure that my employees are never overwhelmed with work and that they have work-life balance. If they're not getting that work-life balance, they're not going to be able to give 110% at work. So, we always make sure that we have good mental health and good work health as well…

And, at Enterprise, promotion is in-house, and the support system that we receive makes it a lot of fun to be promoted.

What advice do you have for other women looking to work at Enterprise Holdings?

Go for it and be confident. Be a voice that matters; that's how I’ve come so far with my promotions and done a fast-track process myself. Being with the company for two years, I've always been a voice for the women in my group.

I love working for Enterprise because we have women in leadership, we go on outings, and we get the encouragement from women that we need. I know it's hard to work as a woman in a corporate environment, but we always make sure that we're sticking together and that we have a voice that matters for all women.
