Pros

Coworkers were very friendly at all levels. On-site gym.

Cons

Very disorganized in communications. Departments don't communicate with each other. No one knows you by name, very cattle call environment. Everyone sits in a cube; very disruptive. Only covered parking for Director level and above.

Pros

Easy to get promoted because everyone quits. Good deals for employees on items with Low remaining value. Thats about the only pro with this company, i got good deals on electronics.

Cons

Exhausting hours, expect to be sexually harassed as a female in this company, especially in management. Sales expectations are unrealistic. If you are a human with emotions, it is not easy to repossess a bunkbed from a child.

Pros

Well. I had to think, but really couldn't come up with anything. Keep in mind the stock is down to $17 a share from $36. That is alot folks. There are issues. RAC can't or won't change to stop the slide.

Cons

You will work 10/12 hour days. You will work EVERY Saturday. You WILL to into dirty scummy homes. You will deal with people who can't afford RAC, but do it anyway. Your DM will be a POS and will beat you down daily. RAC is a hood rat job folks. The expectations they set for your store will mostly be unreachable. The stock is down from 1.5 years $36 a share to $17. Hmmm.....why do you believe that is? RAC is a rip-off. They prey on the poor, and people who have very, very poor credit. But, people are stupid.
