Pretty flexible company that does not ask too much out of you. Job stress is minimal. Management will give you a lot of space.
Cons
Very low pay, unchallenging work, unfavorable loans to high-risk customers, promotions are very political and the most deserving employee rarely will get the position, company is expanding too rapidly and is not able to keep up with the growth.

Any concerns about a particular manager or upper management should be reported to executive management in the corporate office or human resources. Several different methods are offered to report any inappropriate behavior or activities, or to report a need for improvement, for investigation and resolution. Occasionally, a branch may fall below target staffing levels, but this should not happen often. Republic Finance is a growing company that prides itself on its track record of promoting from within. We have programs specifically designed to train, develop and promote qualified individuals into branch management and even higher level positions in the company. Occasionally, a branch may fall below target staffing levels, but this should not happen often. Extended periods of understaffing that is not explained by the Manager should be reported to upper management for appropriate attention.

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.
