Pros

It is a paycheck. It has some benefits. Rent A Center has free parking. Not much else to be said for it. Other than they are the highest turnover company I have ever been associated with and it is not surprising why. Being the highest turnover I have seen is not a prize most companies would want. I suppose being number 1 is to be viewed as a pro. I would guess turnover is at least 50% and that is in the HQ.

Cons

Poor pay. Very few benefits and what they have is not good. Vacation / Off time is substandard. Turnover is high. Normally, hiring people one knows is good. Rent A Center likes referrals but has built "clicks" and pockets of way too much political influence using that approach. Respect is a great word and in their credo. But, I do not see it in play. People are afraid to speak up and constantly look over their shoulders.

Pros

Great leadership and well trained employees help to make Rent A Center a well rounded company to work for. Plenty of training with realistic goals and expectations.

Cons

There are time that management may not know how to effectively communicate with the team. There are sometimes signs of partiality towards some coworkers.
