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.

Pros

All the people I worked with in the store were fantastic people. Everyone helps everyone else and doesn't leave anyone out to dry.

Cons

Management above store level were a nightmare. Easily the worst I've ever experienced. They would change goals often, sometimes within days of having made a change. They would make assumptions about what was wrong without ever actually being in store. They wouldn't speak to ANYONE below the level of a manager to the point of ignoring someone if they greeted them.
