Ace CAsh Express adds intense pressure on the employee Forgetting you cannot force customers to use theire services and satisfy all clients at 100 %
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Houston, TX –
Pros: competetive pay, health & life insurance, spouse benefits
Cons: no stable work location, no part time, one employee for two windows and all customers.
While at Ace Cash Express the hardest part of the job was the fact that the company has only one worker to work to registers and use both at the same time to multitask with the customers as well as working at different locations each day or week therefor you don't work in a stable set location. Another problem with that was the time consumption it takes – more...  to process loans and make sure the clients initial and sign correctly otherwise we would fail the audit. Third of all would be the fact that their is no part time its a full time job and its hard to balance out ; In my case i resigned as it could not balance out with my college courses.
Over all the most enjoyable part of the day was when i was not overfilled with multiple customers either trying to pay off or take out loans as like i said before theirs only one employee for two registers
Yet in this work atmosphere i learned to handle high pressure efficiently and apply it towards completing my task and improve the centers i worked at. – less

Horrible working environment
Manager in Training (Former Employee), Monroe, LA –
Pros: you have a paycheck coming in
Cons: not able to leave during your shift, not allowed to sit, no breaks or lunches
You can not leave once you arrive; 12 hours on your feet, not allowed to sit at all as long as you have a customer at the window. Management could not care less; no matter what you do it is never enough. No praise for anything good but plenty of criticism for everything bad.

Don't even think of it!
Store Manager (Former Employee), Virginia –
Pros: good training managers
Cons: see above review, and that was the good parts of the worst of it
The worst job EVER...and I was a center manager. My DM seemed to always have his hands tied and had no way to help...or just didn't care. The HR was a complete joke! Pay wasn't that good, and NO benefits at all. The "bonus" program is a complete joke...no way that you will get it. They don't care who they hire and I had to work with a LOT of people – more...  that were complete idiots, co-workers were the worst part of the job...much worse than the customers. The training managers were the best part of the job. Raises harder to get than they lead you to believe. No breaks...no lunches...long days. – less

This was one of my favorite jobs. i met some really great people. Also got to help a few. The management there was pretty great. There was only one other co-worker so everything ran kinda easy.The only thing i hated about the job was we had no benefits at all.

wow do they need help...
back end collector (Current Employee), Irving, TX –
Cons: see below
absolutely the worse place to work. Seriously.
Management changes things on a daily basis, impossible to perform your job. Day consists of sitting at your desk, head held low, talking on phone all day to random people who took out payday loans and have no intention- or ability- to repay. Co-workers all stuck in same situation, all looking to get out – more...  before they get fired- which can be for the most absurd reason- which doesnt violate ANY law, but violates Ace's attempt to keep as customers people who steal money from them. Also, they change your schedule weekly it seems. You never know what is expected of you or required, and its a system set you to make you fail.

The most enjoyable part was the 2nd and 4th friday when the company tries to play nice and gibves you free pizza and cake. woooopie. would rather have job security and decent managers. – less

Flexible company that teaches many financial services
Part-time Service Associate/Center Manager (Current Employee), Norcross, GA –
Pros: freedom to entertain self during downtime, company is stable and growing, other managers are helpful
Cons: no lunch, 10-12 hour shifts worked mostly alone, lack of security when opening or closing store, some districts have a negative management style, minimal training
This is a good company to work for if you are getting your foot in the door of the financial services industry. There is not much training as the first two weeks you are only taught enough to open a store by yourself. Everything else must be learned by experience. The up side to this is you are trusted with great responsibility. The downside is, this – more...  frustrates customers having to deal with untrained staff. The management style of this district isn't the most supportive. Every week there is an email threatening to fire someone, but most of the staff dismisses the threats and continues to do their job to the best of their ability. There is a sense of security if you do your job, but if you are not trained it is easy to make a mistake that could get you terminated. At some stores there is plenty of downtime in which employees may read a book, watch tv, talk on the phone, etc and it does not interfere with work. There is no room for promotion unless you go to corporate, but ACE is a good company to get your feet wet in. – less

Good pay, need better equipment and work enviroment
Customer Service (Former Employee), Shreveport, LA –
Pros: down time, no one looking over your shoulder, use of telephone and good pay.
Cons: equipment, processing, collections, being locked up and customer to csr ratio
It was hard being locked behind a glass wall for 9 1/2 hours everyday. Then most times uyou work the shift alone, which is stir crazy. The equipment was not adequate for the job at hand. Some of the process took to long when you had a line of customers and one CSR.Not enough supplies to do the job at hand effectively.
