Pros

If you have no life outside of work and never want any time for yourself or family then this is the job for you. The company as a whole may not be a bad company -- however -- every location within a 50 mile radius that I went to were ALL the same.

Cons

You will not receive any time at home. Your family is not allowed to come before this work place. The manager I had, allowed unfair treatment of employees as well as EXTREME unprofessional atmosphere. There were numerous sexual comments made between employees and they were not once repremanded for it. There was drug use in this facility and the manager was known to be a part of it.

Pros

growth within stores, don't expect to go much further though. compensation is ok, not as good as competitors, no personal time ever, hours at RAC are ridiculous and not needed, holiday weeks you work longer hours to make up for time you weren't there on the holiday. you are paid less unless you are salaried on any week containing a holiday, and you work more time. the company is cocky and feels they can do no wrong, not as helpful as they would like to appear. their choice in health care is despicable this job is only good if you are single and young. you will have no time for your family

Cons

long hours, compensation, lack of movement, employee benefits, lack of free time, vacation time, personal time, the amount of stress i have felt at this company is ridiculous even when on my off day i feel as if i am working, their training is non existent, they are so strapped at times for people to work for them that they just throw them to the wolves and let them "learn" on the job, the customer base at least in an inner city is really disgusting you work for/with the lowest of the low these people have no respect for themselves or others and these are your "customers"
