Pros

Good Pay Good Benefits Until recently a fun and professional place to work. Great customers.

Cons

Turning into a one size fits all organization. They are no longer looking at their core business and the individuality each location has. Corporate and regional leaders are no longer from our industry and have no real knowledge of the field end of our industry.

Pros

Not bad work hours, closed Sundays. Clean job. Gives you experience in loans. Some Cashlands do gold buying and do loans on jewelry, that is interensting.

Cons

Don't get hired around the holidays, as it's very busy and you won't get properly trained, resulting in you working on your own and begging for assistance.

A company that is growing very quickly with many opportunities

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture at first cash is very laid back with a do your job and we'll leave you alone attitude. The benefit is that it is very comfortable and low stress. The executives are doing a good job of growing the company and the stock price continues to climb in both good and bad economies.

Cons

The company does not provide opportunities for growth or development. You will more than likely stay in the position you are hired into, many qualified coworkers were passed up for promotions in favor of outside help.
