Pros

Great way to get sales and collections experience all rolled into one. If you are a driver or CSR you get some additional experience as well.

Cons

They rarely pay you what you are worth. You work among incompetent staff members who make entry level pay and are okay with it. You work extensive hours and while you do make overtime, you are in no other way rewarded for your hard work. If you tick off the wrong person, you will never be eligible for promotions or raises. You have to basically kiss up to your management to stand a chance in the business because they do not base their decisions on performance or integrity. The worst part is that if you have management experience and enter into their "management training" program, the regional manager will set these ridiculously high standards for you that are impossible to reach as a carrot to get you to achieve his or her goals... not yours. And if it doesn't suit their needs, they will never promote you and will make up ridiculous excuses. Their hiring/promoting practices are seriously flawed and for that they are constantly losing GOOD people.

Pros

-Very close knit group of employees. You will work with the same 6-7 people 6 days a week and become very close -There is a good amount of upward mobility and they usually promote within. Hard work doesnt go unnoticed -Do not need a 4 year degree to potentially earn $50K and I've even seen some General Managers make 6 figures, never have completed college

Cons

-Frequent long hours, especially if you are in the non-renewal department. A lot of 12 hour days and early mornings -Repossesing can be fun, but when you have to take a 5 year old impoverished kids bunk bed at 8:30 at night on a Saturday from his screaming parents- its not fun. -If you do not perform and meet goals you will be terminated quickly

Pros

Customers are great! Benefits are inexpensive.

Cons

Difficult people with barely any training or the opportunity to train. Operating procedures change as fast as you can you can learn them. Accounts people treat customers with no respect. Employees are just disrupted. There is allot of company favoritism.
