Pros

Lots of overtime. That is about it.

Cons

Low pay, LONG hours weekly, blame always on lower end, expectations too high, no respect to employees, makes employees treat past due customers like dirt, forces employees to cover truths about pitfalls of Rent to own and lie about certain aspects, only get promoted if you butt kiss or get buddy buddy with managment.....I could just go on and on.

Pros

Easy job to get if you don't mind working for low pay with mandatory overtime each week.

Cons

You rent to people with no credit and in many cases within 2 weeks you start the collection process on them. Customers know if they don't answer the phone and don't open the door, eventually the stuff they rented from you will be written off. So, they pay for it for 2 or 3 weeks and then they stop. Most store managers worked their way into that position and have no idea how to manage people.

Pros

Good pay but if yoi you are just going to get fired a couple years later for your hard work and dedication then what is the use.

Cons

Senoir managers care more about the staff the they do the customers and when that happens customer service and ultimately profits go down and when you try to correct the managers you are told not to leading the managers to believe they and the rest of the staff are "untouchable".
