Pros

You deal with many different personalities so it's a good school of hard knocks job. The pay started out decent. I like the trips out on the road.

Cons

Where do I begin. The company is trying to turn over the workforce to save money. In turn they are getting a bunch of part-time people that could really care less if they were there or not. It's really insulting to be there for 5 years and get a .09 cent raise when some part-time kid that sits and drools all day gets a quarter. They keep stressing keeping collections down to a certain percent. Hey idiots, the fact of the matter is the people that come to Rent-A-Center don't have a lot of money...that's why they are paying 5 times what something is worse..so we have to add insult to injury by harassing them all the time. Not cool.

Pros

The benefits can be decent, there are growth opportunities, and if you’re lucky, you work with a great team.

Cons

Poor management on many levels. From a store level, extending to corporate, the “leadership” needs work on their people skills. People are only capable of handling so much, and the lack of support from upper management makes it harder to work day to day. Additionally, the goalpost is always moving. If you manage to exceed their expectations, completing those same goals will no longer be good enough. The lack of support when it comes to customer abuse is embarrassing. We’re in 2026 and we should want to support the teams that are keeping the company running. Corporate is out of touch with reality. Anyone making over 6 figures a year no longer view customers as people, but as numbers. It doesn’t matter what horrid stories you hear on a daily basis, they are expected to bend to standards that shouldn’t exist anymore.
