Decent pay, but not worth the headache
Manager Trainee (Current Employee), Tallahassee, FL – June 18, 2013
If you enjoy the Rent to Own Business, then this is for you. If you are easy going the accounts department is not for you. Hours are long, so you don't have a chance to get other things done in a day. The employees are great, but customers can be a headache

Not fun at all
Sales and Service Manager (Former Employee), Tx – June 16, 2013
Pros: healthcare
Cons: everything else
Hours are horrible
Each store is staffed with 6 people if corporate which is not enough
Each associate is expected to do many different jobs with a limited time frame
Raises are one a year and the most i have seen is .25 cents
only GM's get reasonable bonuses

It is a good company to work for. This is a fun place to work

HR
Benefits Supervisor (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – June 11, 2013
Great place to work and definitely enjoyed my tenure. I had a great manager that was willing to teach me everything that she knew and I of course absorbed it like a sponge.

We had a growing department full of bright up and coming HR professionals.

Poor management and hours that ruin the whole day
SALES MANAGER (Current Employee), PA – June 2, 2013
Pros: employee discount
Cons: management and hours
The company has very bad morals and the hours are terrible. The management picks favorites and they do everything they can to get the people they don't like to quit.

worst job ever
PRODUCT TECHNICIAN (Current Employee), Griffith, IN – June 2, 2013
Pros: meet new people all the time
Cons: racism-low pay
First and foremost I worked there for 6 years. what I experienced should have been reported and investigated but I constantly feared for My job. My supervisor was extremely racist and evil. I could not report any of the abuse I went through because he was connected with the "good ol boys" club and the HR department. Even when I did speak out there was – more... severe retaliation. I was constantly cheated on My pay and always overworked. I can't overstate how much I was treated like dirty. My manager along with the rest of the lazy racist staff would bad mouth me to customers as well as anyonewho would listen. I would never recommend this company to anyone friend or foe. – less

Everything You Accomplish Matters Not
Manager Trainee (Former Employee), Hinesville, GA – May 28, 2013
Pros: steady pay
Cons: everything else
At the end of the day it is pointless how well you do your job. It will still be threatened. If you are good and your department is struggling they will not evaluate you as an individual.

Very stressful workplace
Product Technician (Former Employee), Price, UT – May 25, 2013
Pros: job security
Cons: inconsistent management
Working with Aarons Sales and Lease was very stressful to say the least. There were many inconsistencies with communication, both between employees and management and between customers and associates. Scheduled deliveries were usually written wrong in the delivery book, delivery paperwork was always difficult to find each morning, and much more that – more... made the job much more difficult than it needed to be.

Some of the only benefits to working for Aarons was the steady hours and job security. – less

no teamwork at all
product tech (Former Employee), woodbridge va – May 23, 2013
Pros: nothing at all
Cons: all above
everything they tell you is a lie job advancement is a joke they hire people they know to fill the management spots if you start as a pt and you want to move up they will drop your pay to move you up. they have no respect for the ones that do the real work for the company. the pts have no incentives to better themselves. they work the hardest and get – more... paid the least amount of money. they take away what you have already earned if you quit because they are cheap and dont want to spend the money they should be giveing to the people that earned it. this is a billion dollar a year company and they pay like nothing. this company is the worst ive ever worked for and ive had some harder jobs. i would rather work at a dollar store just because they treat me better. i worked for aarons for 4 years and and only made it up to 11 an hour. then they wonder why we get all mad off with them doing all the hard work and not getting our worth. – less

GOOD COMPANY TO WORK FOR
Bookkeeper (Former Employee), Houston, TX – May 20, 2013
Pros: good vacation pay
Cons: health care package could of been better
T his was a 9 to 5 job. I posted all payments to ledger cards and balanced the books. I was also a customer service person receiving payments and solving problems for customers. The management office was in Atlanta Ga but very pleasant to deal with. My immediate Houston supervisor was a great person to work for which made the job fun. The hardest part – more... of the job was collections. The most enjoyable part of the job was dealing with customers and helping the inside sales folks. – less

The best job ever.
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Connecticut – May 20, 2013
Pros: everything free lunches, conventions
Cons: retirement at age of 18
I was 16 at this job it was my very first job i was a youth agent. Me my supervisor and two other people would go into stores and try to buy cigarrettes and if they sold to us they would recieve a ticket because i was underage. I loved everything about this job but it was tough when we were with the cops because whoever we caught out would get a ticket – more... right there and they wold know it was me which did make me feel very uncomfortable. – less

Aaron's is going through an evolution in it's growth.
Director of Advertising (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – May 17, 2013
Pros: nationwide company, lots of opportunity
Cons: it's rent-to-own, not a glamorus business
Aaron's is growing, which is not a story you hear at many places. They are in an exciting expansion phase and are dabbling with an international presence.

Aaron's selling proposition is a hard one to communicate. But this company does so well even in spite of it. Hard working field people, great products and the want to fulfill people's dreams will – more... continue to catapult Aaron's safely into the next decade. A one to watch! – less

Great Money Only If You Are A General Manager Of Above..
General Manager (Former Employee), Lake City, SC – May 16, 2013
Pros: excellent money for general managers only!!!!!
Cons: no raises, they treat employees terribly, no home life at all, your earned personal time is used against you, they try to discourage you from taking your vacations, often feels like your job is always in jeopardy, especially if you request your personal time off that you have earned
Upper Management, Regional Managers And Above SUCK!! VERBAL ABUSE IS TOLERATED AND GIVEN ALL THE TIME BY UPPER MANAGEMENT!!!! Complain To Corporate And Watch What Happens!! Harassment By The Regional Managers!! This Is A Real Racist Company. You Will Have Much Success If You Are A White Male. All Upper Management Is The Good Ole Boy System!! There Are – more... Very Few Minorities In Positions Of Management And Even Less Women. Everything Sounds Great Until You Are Hired. I Spent 3 1/2 Years With This Company And Ran A VERY Successful Store!! The Only Problem Was I Wasn't A White Male And I DIDN'T Find The Racist Or Sexist Jokes Funny At All And I Called Them On EVERYONE!!! THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEES!! It Shows Daily And For Those Who Are Giving Them Good Reviews, They Are AFRAID To Loose Their JOBS!!! – less

not the best place to work
Sales Manager (Former Employee), Madison, Al – May 11, 2013
Pros: not really any pros
Cons: you cannot get paid for working through your lunch in order to get the job done.
It is a nice job as far as meeting new customers. however when it comes to your responsibilities at the front counter there is no assistance in which to help each other in order to gain better performance. Most of the workers are all to themselves.
