Pros

-Its an opportunity to learn how to handle a profit & loss statement -Its an opportunity to learn how to learn good customer service because you deal with lots of very angry renters

Cons

- You supposedly earn vacation but they never agree to let you take it - The offices are very thinly staffed - You work upwards of 10 hours a day 5 days a week and have to work on Saturday - Take lunch? Forget it, usually doesn't happen - You want to work in or near the town where you live? Forget it as you will probably have to drive 25+ miles one way which isn't good when you are getting minimum wage - Management promises bonuses monthly for sales and quarterly for branch managers BUT the local district manager somehow manages to keep the lion's share for himself.

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is a decent place to work with a steady environment and meaningful day-to-day responsibilities. Overall, it's not a bad company to be a part of if you are looking for stability and purpose in your tasks.

Cons

The internal culture is highly political, and professional advancement often depends more on favoritism than merit. You frequently have to play corporate games and kiss up to management just to get ahead or be noticed.
