Pros

I worked in the corporate "home office" location. Lots of stores with nice products for customers to rent or rent-to-own. The most positive thing about this company is it will make you appreciate any other job you've ever had.

Cons

Home Office is very hierarchical. Directors and up have offices, reserved parking spaces in the garage, and a business professional dress code. As one of these people, I was very uncomfortable as it led to a system of us against them. Hostile work environment, especially for women. Google their class action lawsuit. Despite that ruling, it still exists that women are just hired for the numbers. Conversations and meetings are peppered with hostile and sexually explicit comments; very uncomfortable, and not a place where many women will succeed. Good old boys club indeed. Senior leaders lead by intimidation, people are fired on the spot if they don't bow down and agree; no one willing to take risk for innovation for fear of losing their job. Time off policy limited; other benefits expensive as well.
