Pros

Pay & the ability to rise through the ranks. If you work hard and are dedicated, you can go as far as your talents will take you.

Cons

Time; there is not enough time to work at RAC and have a family also. In my experience, RAC wanted no liability for bending the rules, but it was implicitly encouraged so numbers were achieved. If numbers were achieved, you had no issues with your superiors; but if you missed the numbers, suddenly the rules applied to you and your crew. I always heard an emphasis on training and learning more, but in practice there was none available to the employees.

Pros

Nothing but getting weekly pay

Cons

Store manager very unprofessional. Telling others even outside of work about my protected personal medical records to mutual acquaintances. Talks negatively about all employees to the other employees when they aren’t around and calls other stores to talk about them. I had to quit it got so bad.
