Pros

Always something new every day, never a dull moment. Small stores, opportunities to develop strong relationships with customers. Virtually no scripts to follow, no "dumbing-down"...employees are encouraged and empowered to answer challenges and solve problems.........

Cons

Very inconsistent messages from management about what's important from day to day. Credit accomplishment receive almost no attention compared to sales accomplishments. Employees are always letting some thing go to get other things done, even though EVERYTHING has to get done. Usual office politics and backstabbing, plenty of people who try to hurt other people for no apparent reason or benefit...........

Pros

Rent-A-Center is a profitable company with a great deal of experience in the senior management ranks. The employees are the heart and soul of the company. The working environment is fairly cordial and everyone for the most part is respectful of one another.

Cons

The biggest downside is the lack of diversity and inclusion in senior management. It's disappointing given the broad talent pool of individuals that make up the workforce.
