Pros

Very few. If you're coming right out of college the pay is good considering that you don't have to think much to do this job. If you are in a good producing branch, the chance for bonuses is good.

Cons

They say you are "salary" but truly you are hourly and have to clock in/out every day. They tell you in your interviews that there are great bonuses and compensations, but those are based on branch production not individual work effort, and sometimes are not actually attainable goals. This job is pure collections, you will spend hours of your day calling people about their payments, and all upper management cares about is delinquency. If you do not enjoy customers being very hostile towards you, this is not the job for you. Depending on the manager and other employees in the office, you can have a great work environment or a terrible one. Unfortunately, I was in the second category. You are not allowed to take vacation days in November or December, and you are offered very few days off for holidays. The interest rates on some of these loans tip into the 40 percent levels and border on predatory lending. In the end, the company only cares about your numbers and the bottom line. This takes precedence over its employees as well as its customers.

Goals for employees are established based on previous branch results, an employee’s past performance, and a number of other factors. The goals have proven to be attainable as demonstrated by the number of employees who have reached or exceeded their goals. Collection calls are a requirement for all positions in the branch offices and are a normal part of the lending business. Republic Finance complies with all applicable laws regulating how collection activities are conducted. Republic has systems in place to reward quality work, but the employment experience can vary between locations. A number of methods are used to gather employee feedback, including the failure of a manager to provide adequate praise to employees, for resolution.

Pros

Welcoming Staff Good hours and pay

Cons

I felt extremely misled about this internship opportunity. As an accounting major, I repeatedly expressed interest in learning about loan closing processes, leadership development, and gaining broader exposure to the company. I was assured that my accounting background would be valuable and that I would have many opportunities to learn and grow. However, I was not informed of the actual responsibilities of the role until my second day. I then learned that the position primarily involved customer service tasks, including making collections calls and opening loans for customers. These duties did not align with the expectations that had been communicated to me during the hiring process. I also found it difficult to feel good about opening loans for customers, as it often felt like I was helping people take on more debt rather than improving their financial situation. By my third day, I decided to step away from the opportunity because the role was not what I had been led to expect. If you are interested in a customer service position that involves frequent phone calls with clients, this role may be a good fit. Otherwise, I recommend asking detailed questions about the day-to-day responsibilities before accepting the position.
