      Upper Management Yells and Threatens to try to motivate you

      Pros

      Competive compensation for General Managers when your store's revenue reaches predetermined levels. Aaron's Inc. continues to grow in an economic time that is very hard for other retailers.

      Cons

      #1 way upper management tries to motivate you is by yelling at you and threatening your job on a daily basis. Not a professional or healthy work environment by any means. This is not a one time occurance, this is seen throughout the whole company. Salaried employees must work 70 - 80 hrs per week.

      A trainwreck

      Pros

      Meet some interesting people. Great feeling to help a customer/family fulfill a need. Aarons classroom attempts to promote positive image.

      Cons

      In Central Al my personal hours changed 4 times in less than 3 monthes. Very chaotic. Store full of DRAMA. The GM was/is very Unorganized,has very little if any Structure,Negative and Nasty personality. In the last 13 weeks I have yet to see the GM visit any customer/family in the field activity or involved in any way helping to publicly market that location. The "customer closing process and delivery scheduling" are laughable at best. Prospecting & needs analysis are indeed weak. The suits in Atlanta should drive to Central Al and stay a week and see what is happening with their investment. I guess they really don't have to though....the numbers kinda speak for themselves. You can put lipstick on a pig but in the end, you still have a pig. I was told very little chance for advancement or very little chance to make any real money. Raises would consist of maybe 25 cents per hour twice a year if your review came in spotless.

      Manager Trainee- Nice Pay but unhealthy

      Pros

      $10.50 an hour plus time and a half which equals to about 11.80 an hour at 40 hrs a week.

      Cons

      Bugs! If you do not like bugs and do not want them coming home with you... this is not the company for you. It is VERY possible to bring home bed bugs working at a lease to own place. When people dont want or do not pay for their merchandise they can return it and what ever is on it
