I could never in good conscience recommend this employer to anyone. Advance America was without a doubt the worst professional experience I have had in my life. Once you complete their training, you will quickly realize that the lack of staffing at the company is a deliberate choice and will not be changing anytime soon. The company has a horrible pay scale, even as an external candidate being hired in as a manager with plenty of experience. One of the biggest surprises is that even when you come in as a manager, you still have to perform all of the same duties and direct customer service on a drawer as your staff(if you have one) and are also directly responsible for: canvas marketing, branch cleaning, conducting collections calls, cold calling for customer volume and resolving customer complaints just to name a few of your duties. You don't have any managerial responsibilities or power other than being on the hook monthly for the stores volume and combination of google and facebooks reviews, which are the only thing your upper management will prioritize. All of the internal platforms they use are extremely old, and were completely unreliable on the day to day to conduct business. Your safety is also not valued by the company, as there are multiple instances of women at the company being forced to work alone constantly, in areas that are not the best. Branches with bugs and mold, broken computer screens, management that is more concerned with their vacations than supporting your success, the list goes on. Take your talents to a company who will value you and not try to work the few employees they do have into oblivion because they don't want to fire bad workers and hire reliable candidates.
