Pros

Getting paid every week on Friday. Receiving a pay increase automatically without a review every 6 months. the company is very quick to promote you. Which also looks good on your resume. Id say that you can become a store manager within 6-7 months

Cons

Having to work a mandatory 50 hour a week work schedule. With mandatory Saturdays. Your schedule requires you to work form open to close 9am-8pm. It really depends on how the day or week is going. That determines of you have to stay an extra hour to do telemarketing calls. In my case i have Tuesdays and Sundays off. The store is closed on Sundays. Ive been with rac for 3 years now. When i first started i was an account manager. The job required me to council the customers about making payments on time and if i had no contact with the customer I'm required to pay a visit out to the home or if not the job! Oh by the way I'm a female! That can get pretty dangerous at times. I have had customers threaten me, curse me out. Also i almost forgot to mention we deliver merchandise also. Man or Woman it don't matter. That's what the job requires. If you have a family be prepared to not even see them. I'm so serious this job takes up so much of your time its crazy. I have worked with people that are now going through relationship problems. One i know of got a divorce. This job isn't for everybody!

Pros

Not a bad place to work decent pay for 50 hours a week not a bad benidits package

Cons

The most micro managed job ever. Store managers should be described as cheerleaders. No ability to manage any aspect or the business, more like puppet.
