Rent A Center Employer Reviews

I worked for rent a center for about 4 years, the turn over rate is really high people dont last with that company very long if you can make it 2 years you are considered and old timer. The pay is pretty good you get paid weekly so thats nice, benefits are pretty good as well, you get every sunday off because the company is closed. But you will never – more...  get sat off and even if you request it you can get told no and you are even nervous to ask. I worked with company just as a stepping stone in to mangement then moved on to better companys. other then that plan to work a min of 48 hrs per wk. – less

A typical day at work is an 11 hour shift with a 30 min break 3 to 4 hours after you get there. Depending on the store/people you work with expect someone to look over your shoulder constantly. The district manager micro-manages the stores. The hardest part of the job is trying to force people to pay what they don't have or taking items that they need – more...  i.e. stove, bed, fridge. Also you tele-market to your same customers daily. The most enjoyable part of the job is the co-workers depending on who you're working with. – less

You need a sense of urgency to hit sales and collection goals. I learned how to run a business from budgeting, P&L statements to employee development and training.

Hardest part of the job was working 11-12 hours 6 days a week.

I enjoyed building great customer relationships and providing excellent service. With a hardworking and goal oriented team – more...  you will succeed with the company. – less

Manage rental accounts and meet company account management goals and expectations, by collecting (Collections) on past due accounts while adhering to company standards. To meet the company percentages every week. Obtain new rental orders over the phones and on the sales floor, and cashier. Complete and verify credit applications on all customers.

I really enjoyed working there. The job was great. I couldn't argue to much about the pay. I was guaranteed at least 48 hours a week with overtime pay. I would really enjoy working there again in an exception that rent a center was under new management. The job itself wasn't hard its just long work days. I would recommend RAC to anyone that wants to – more...  apply. – less

good job just the hours are hard,especially if you have a family

lots of hands on with the customers learned how to deal with issues that customers had

Good place to improve your sale skills. You have to be people orientated if not, this is not the job for you. Hardest part of the job was carrying furniture to 3rd and 4th floors. But you meet a lot of wonderful people.

No day is the same. You are constently dealing with different customers and coworkers and stores. It starts with making the store appealing for customers to want to redo their homes with RAC. Doing the backround check on each customer is where it comes either easy or hard to collect the money each week/month on each person. Management in my district – more...  made work an enjoyable place due to tthe fact that they all help you and they try to help every employee work towards advancing in a short period of time. The best part of my day is renting to customers and trying to exceed our daily goals. The hardest part was trying to get my employees to manage their time in a good fashion manner. – less

Has a high turnover rate with upper management, ie district, store, and regional managers, require 50+ hours per week. Split days off. Was an ok place to work. Would have been better if their upper management was properly trained to support store staff more consistently.

This work enviroment isn't healthy. They say one thing and want you to do another.

I am grateful for the opportunity to work for this company and appreciate being able to provide for myself and my family.

This job does not have any redeeming factors, it is difficult, mind numbing and you may be thrown in with incompetent managers that will make your life miserable

It was fun at first, but after a while the the hours and the demands of the middle management wore you out in the end.

DM I worked for was distrustful, However previous managers and time spent with the company was rewarding. Company has good values but is not reflected in older management staff

A typical day at work revolves around "hitting your numbers" rental agreements. Expensive price for the target market, I've learned customers will give you every excuse in the world to avoid a payment on their rental merchandise!

Iam very serious while on the job. No room for letting your guards down. Work hard show respect and kindness to all nothing less is exspected.

It pays well, but it will chew you up and spit you out!! If you have family or any social life RUN!!
