I was in great need of a job. I recently just graduated from college May 11' with a B.S. degree. The job market is very slim in my area and didn't have any money to move. A friend referred me to Aarons. I filled out the online app and went into the store to see if I could get an interview. Got it! Went in for the interview there was no pressure. The GM manager was very nice and she discussed the functions of being a manager trainee ( answering calls, calling about payment, possibly have to repo items, and assisting on the sales floor) and the hours I would have to work (40-45hrs) basically doing a little bit of everyone else job, which was no problem for me.
Everything went well then she set up an interview with the Regional Manager. Meet with RM, which was not an interview, basically reviewed everything from first interview and told me my goal was to make it to GM within 6months to a yr. Told him I had no problem as long as relocation was paid, which he agreed it could be arranged.
Interview:
Applied online, 1:1 General Manager, 1:1 Regional Manager, Background check, Drug Test.
Only possible negatives (depends on the person):
- Working 40-50hrs wkly
-Collect of items from home
Overall, good experience, nice store and friendly staff... I see a lot of negative reviews, but I think it just depends on the store.
Hope this helps. :) Good Luck!
