      Pros

      Aarons Sales and Lease provides decent compensation and good discounts for their employees. There are also good opportunities for advancement. You will get a good workout repossessing furniture.

      Cons

      Aarons will tell you in your interview that it is not a collections business. This is a flat out lie. As a management trainee, you will spend 7-8 hours a day on the phone calling delinquent customers. You will spend 2-3 more hours driving to customer's houses to harass them for payment or repossess inventory. The company does not care a lick about its employees. The bottom dollar is all that matters. There are good opportunities for advancement because of a high employee turnover and frequent firings.

      Aarons in a nutshell...

      Pros

      I would say the absolute best reason to work at Aaron's is the fact that there is an endless amount of opportunities for a person to earn extra money. The bonus programs that the company offers is outstanding and is based solely on how each store works as a team. If you have a team that is excited and willing to work with each other you can expect to receive a plentiful amount of bonuses and extra money in your pocket. The benefits are also getting better as time goes on. Initially when I started the company did not offer eye coverage but now they are implementing new coverage that does which takes the already well built coverage and makes it almost perfect. One last terrific benefit has to be the amount of hours that the company hands out. Do to the fact that the company has a set amount for employees at each store and is reflected only by the amount of profit the store brings in, a person can always expect to receive a full 40 hours if not more. In this economy that is something to be cherished.

      Cons

      The downsides would absolutely have to be the hours that one has to work. The store is open from 10am to 7pm Monday through Thursday, 10am to 8pm Friday, and 10am to 5pm on Saturdays. The reason I would say that this is a downside is an employee very very rarely gets two days off in a row. The company is closed on Sunday and upper management frowns strongly upon giving anyone Mondays off. It is utterly pertinent that every single employee works every single Friday for the entire time that you are employed with Aaron's. I understand that it is a retail work environment however, I have worked in retail previously and it was never imperative that you never ever, ever take a Friday off. It is unfortunately about the same with Saturdays. Every single employee is full time which means there is no mid shift or night shift or morning shift. Everyone works all day with one odd day off during the week. If you are a General Manager, unless you store is successful enough to please the Regional Managers you probably will not have two days off. I feel that the amount of pressure that is brought down on each store to be 100% successful every single day no matter what is extremely unfair. I've also noticed bullying from upper management with employees which is every bit uncomfortable and unbelievably out of line 99% of the time.

      Pros

      The biggest Pro about this company is that you are paid weekly. I have not been at many jobs that have that as an option

      Cons

      I have been working here for a month and I am already searching for new employment. The bonuses are really tough to hit and as a Manger Trainee ... you don't get many chances to do sales. The hours are horrible, yea...your off sundays but your working 45 to 55 hours a week. As soon as I can find another job I'm running out the front door
