Pros

Helping the public that is not able to afford basic necessities is really rewarding. Working directly with people that have not had anyone believe in them before allows you to really help those in need. We may not be the lowest priced option in retail but we are in Rent to Own.

Cons

Long hours (7 days a week) taking advantage of salaried associates. Not listening to your staff who understand the core business. Every day our priorities change. No HR oversight. Constant lying to our associates and shareholders. The management pushes associates to review the company on this forum "Glass Door". My review is honest and unbiased. Others may not be. If their choice to come after me for my honesty so be it.

Pros

Co workers were awesome. Some of them I would consider life long friends.

Cons

Management is awful. Company is slowly going down. They continue to hire people who know nothing about Rent to own. There no room for advancement and it is a good ol boys club.
