Pros

None. Only the desperate would consider this industry. 6 day workweeks and no time off begin your journey followed by long hours and constant beat-downs from management. Then comes the exciting part: attempting to collect past due balances on rental furniture given to the lowest of the low, in some of the most dangerous, third-world type nieghboorhoods you can imagine.

Cons

'Thugs' in management, high expectations, unsavory clientele, zero HR assistance, 6 day workweek, hostile environment, dirty conditions, dangerous nieghboorhoods where you chase payments or merchandise on a weekly basis, heavy lifting expected of all employees, unsavory co-workers who will steal anything, etc....

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.
