Pros
Good customers and great relationships built. If you like taking orders you'll be fine. For my first couple years I did gain valuable management experience, and now work for a Fortune 50 company where I'm allowed to run my own business. As a college grad, I could have done a lot better than Aaron's. For those with no degree, it's a good opportunity to make money you otherwise could not. With that being said, the company is in decline, closing more than 100 stores recently. The opportunity to become a GM is simply not there like it used to be. And due to declining sales, everyone is panicking. Simply stay away is all I can say.
Cons
If you have a college or even technical degree, don't even consider it. They pay their managers well, but only to take orders, not to use their minds. The hours are long and worth it if you have control of your business... however you do not. Managers work for 4$/hour to take orders. Most have no control on who to hire, the inventory to order, marketing, collecting, etc. The company as a whole takes advantage of it's employees and customers. Everyone knows RTO is more expensive. Not because of the nature of the business, but because corporate acts as a vendor to the stores after they've already gone through several vendors to acquire the product. Thus corporate makes money off of its stores, who has to try to sell a product for perhaps double the price of a competitor. Furthermore, when an account charges off, corporate sells the debt to third party company, pocketing even more money. It is a blatant racket that eventually will implode in on itself.
