Rent-A-Center – “Be Aware you have no life if you work here.”
Pros
Decent salary for only HS education required. Benefits package is competitive. Good advancement from Account Manager level to Store Manager Level.
Cons
Long Hours, No recognition, Reverse Discrimination, Advancement very limited after store manager. District manager turnover excessive. In the 10 years I worked for the company I had 10 district managers in the same region. Company concentrates too much on credit standards which hinders our ability to grow. However, when we managers voice this they say we are only making excuses.
Advice to Senior Management
Stop threatening your managers jobs and start supporting them. Take some of their advice they are on the front line. Increase the Saturday close standard to 6.9 to allow for growth.
