You can get paid, but you'll have no personal life.

Store manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay & the ability to rise through the ranks. If you work hard and are dedicated, you can go as far as your talents will take you.

Cons

Time; there is not enough time to work at RAC and have a family also. In my experience, RAC wanted no liability for bending the rules, but it was implicitly encouraged so numbers were achieved. If numbers were achieved, you had no issues with your superiors; but if you missed the numbers, suddenly the rules applied to you and your crew. I always heard an emphasis on training and learning more, but in practice there was none available to the employees.

A diplorable, 'last-chance' company for the desperate...

Region manager

Business Outlook

Pros

None. Only the desperate would consider this industry. 6 day workweeks and no time off begin your journey followed by long hours and constant beat-downs from management. Then comes the exciting part: attempting to collect past due balances on rental furniture given to the lowest of the low, in some of the most dangerous, third-world type nieghboorhoods you can imagine.

Cons

'Thugs' in management, high expectations, unsavory clientele, zero HR assistance, 6 day workweek, hostile environment, dirty conditions, dangerous nieghboorhoods where you chase payments or merchandise on a weekly basis, heavy lifting expected of all employees, unsavory co-workers who will steal anything, etc....
