Pros

If you are a GM or support staff pay is pretty good. Don't need an education to be store staff respect out of fear is a big thing here

Cons

Hard work. store staff doesn't care people are lazy and incompetent I have no idea how most GMs got promoted.

Pros

Aaron's was and continues to be a financially growing company that is growing despite the economy. Decent pay, good benefits and the POTENTIAL to make a lot of money. GM's are afforded some freedom as to the operation of their store and the company tries to provide marketing support and decent products.

Cons

Simply put, never judge a book by its' cover. While the POTENTIAL to make lots of money and enjoy lavish trips etc... exist, the reality is that most GM's just work 60 to 70 hours a week to make their base salary. Leadership seems to be lacking and communiacation is non-existant. If it does happen it is a 2 hour conference call tounge lashing that results in more confusion as to what is supposed to be done. There is no support of the employees in the field by middle management and the end result is dissatisfied employees and poor results. My relationship with Aaron's ended badly because of the "people in the middle" not the company. My advice, "interview" the Regional and Divisional Vice President as they interview you!

Pros

Aaron's has great owners that care a great deal about the business and taking care of customers. You have the ability to take ownership and work your daily activities with minor supervision. So as a GM it was great to not have to bother with too much micro management,

Cons

The only down side about working in this industry is the schedule. I am fine with working long hours, however, I am also a family man and appreciate my time off.
