Pros

This is a job for people that like to help people with the basic needs of life... home furnishings and electronics.

Cons

This job has long hours and the pay is not as bad, although was much better before the price of home goods got overly competitive and the introduction of Amazon and the Internet brought down the costs of goods. Aaron's is still a great option for some consumers as they have no credit nor money to invest to gain the basic needs to furnish a home. Their no money nor credit needed is a great appeal to those customers. The downside is that not as much money is exchanged like the years prior. The days are numbered for this predatory company as the corporate team is no longer focused on profitability objectives that Ken Butler was able to deliver. The only reason that Aaron's still exists is simply due to the fact the company purchased Progressive. All of the profits Aaron's pulls down are a direct result of that purchase. The Aaron's stores would be among the ranks of Sears and Kmart without the Progressive addition.

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.
