Pros

You never have to work sundays, you start at a decent pay rate, benefits are ok compared to a lot of other places.

Cons

You never really know what time you are getting off of work. Just because you are scheduled to be off at a certain time it doesn't mean you will be walking out the door anywhere close to that time. The time you get off depends on how your performed that day. If you didn't have good credit numbers then you will be out at night knocking on doors trying to repo or collect rent. There is nothing people who are down on their luck hate more than someone knocking at their door at 8pm. Especially after you have been calling them all day. When you go out to deliver you have to remember who your customer base is. 95% of the houses and trailers I went into were disgusting. I will never forget the smell of some of these places for as long as I live. They promote quickly so keep in mind just because someone performs their job duty well doesn't mean they have an business managing people. You will find most of the management is incompetent. I am not a bitter ex-coworker I left the company on my own terms. I just wish I knew these things before I started. If you can stick it out and perform well you can move up quicker just be ready not to have ANY spare time.
