      I have been working at Rent A Wheel full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      This job is truly what you make it. If you work hard there is unlimited opportunity for promotions and most importantly big bonuses.

      Cons

      Very fast paced work environment. Not the place for slackers. Stores need more staffing to better take care of the customers.

      Advice to Management

      Stores need to be allowed to have more staffing.

      Pros

      I am working harder than I ever have but it is worth it to me to have an opportunity to build a career. I came from a similar company but the opportunity was not there . I worked hard to go no where. I feel like this company will give me the opportunity and it makes working worth it. if they believe in my I will believe in them. I feel like my store is actually my store. I run it like its mine. I care about it.

      Cons

      The hours for a manager can be long. There are not guarantees.

      If my manager was in my store more often I coudl grow faster

      Pros

      The work schedule is good. Not working on Sundays along with getting off at a decent hour is a plus.

      Cons

      I was lied to when I was hired about pay and was told by store manager that raises aren’t given only to watch her go above and beyond to give the sales rep a raise since she bought a new truck. District, Regional and Corporate staff only listens to what the store manager says...everyone else is irrelevant. Training is horrible, I was not trained when I started. People are allowed to break policies and falsify documents with no
      Accountability besides a slap on the wrist.

      Advice to Management

      Just because someone is store manager does not mean they are the only ones who can be trusted in the store. Hold people accountable throughout the store not just the people who aren’t friends.

      Pros

      There is no Pro's... horrible work environment!

      Cons

      Poor communication from the top down. The Human Resources Department is a joke! They are quick to dismiss a employee without fact finding and hire any warm body to work there. They rip customers off by adding accessories to their account without them knowing. That will add another $500.00 to the customers account. Employees get the so-called bonuses taken away because of all the skip accounts. The customers are total thieves and have no intent on paying for the wheels and tires. Customers will verbally and physically attack you and will even pull knives and guns on you! Don't waste your time at Rent-A-Wheel, they under pay for what they expect out of you. You can't live on $12.00 - $13.00 an hour and don't get me started on the broken promises and dangling carrot... all lies!

      Advice to Management

      Take care of the employees because they are the ones who are making you all the money! Listen before you act... it's called communication!
