Pros

Decent discounts and you get to feel like you are helping some pretty good people that are down on their luck.

Cons

Non stop micromanagement. Upper management is 100% reactivate and 0% proactive and the failures are always the fault of the DM's on down to the pawn brokers. Upper management keeps finding ways to let their employees know that they don't care about them whatsoever. For example they had stores put up "see something say something" and "free handcuffs with every theft" at all stores. Also things like requiring new employees to purchase new work shirts with their own money even though it is illegal for them to do that in a lot of states including Washington. Upper management loves to burn out their employees by doing things like telling store managers that they are not allowed to get two days off in a row and they need to schedule their employees the same way. Lastly their is no such thing as a raise for anyone at the store level. Their answer to asking for a raise is "sell more stuff and give yourself a raise".

Pros

Fair pay, work with great people, no day is ever the same. Time flies at work and sometimes doesn't even feel like work.

Cons

Company sends out tons of initiatives and keeps you more than busy. Always runs "lean and mean" meaning never enough staff. Company expects you to do more than humanly capable . Pay is fair but the incentive program is horrible , your bonus pay is nowhere worth the amount of effort, time , sweat , blood and tears you out into the job. Years ago the bonus program was great and worked well , then they changed it and only changed it for the benefit of the company and not its employees. Opened on Sunday's and pile on the work. Company keeps taking and taking and not giving back. This used to be a great company to work for.
