Pros
Great pay and benefits. Corporate is wonderful about listening to your ideas and helping you with problems that you are having. Gives support and ideas for you to try which will help you succeed. Corporate gives you free reign on how to promote your store, Franchise does not.
Cons
Franchise stores have Aarons rules and then there is their rules. Franchise stores mostly go by what Aarons wants but then again they have their own way of doing things as well. We were never on the same page as everyone else. Always behind in being notified of changes, then when down to the crunch, franchise principal and Regional Manager wanted it done yesterdeay. Aarons Corp stores work with you on problem employees, numbers, profit and loss to where a franchise store does not. I worked for a franchise and will never do again. Hours were crazy with no time for family or personal life.
