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"
Advice to Senior Management
make the hours better, pay a little bit more and give us some damn personal days, maybe make them accrued throughout the year not ending within the year, we do not need to work as long as we do, useful training system before employees get to the store they are working at would be extremely helpful, do not expect to train people in store it doesn't work
