Pros

You will always know where you stand and will be reminded on a daily basis. The job is production based, and at the end of the day it's all about the numbers. If you don't have any interest in a life outside of work, and want to move up the corporate ladder it's not a horrible place to work. Benefits as far as company match for 401k/stock options are pretty decent also.

Cons

Forget about a work-life balance. District managers always pressure you to work more hours to turn in better results. Average work week is about 55 hours, but month end can easily be 65-70+ when you include Saturday hours. As a salaried manager (no OT) plan on being used and abused. The normal staffing in branches these days is 1-2 employees down from what it once was which means a lot more work for everyone in the branch. Again, if you don't mind working non-stop the job is ok, but turnover is high for a reason. Your expectations will be VERY high, and there is a lot of pressure to perform. If you do not THRIVE under pressure don't even think about taking this job.

Pros

Flexibility or time off, decent pay/benefits

Cons

Unless you achieve all your goals, you get no kudos for achieving some, management thinks your stupid and don't get the big picture, unrealistic goals maintained from years ago that can't apply in a recession, getting people who notoriously pay their bills late (our customer base and we know/understand this) to get on automatic payment, calling people at work 3 days after they're late w/a payment, and on and on...

Pros

Good place to start out at; gives you a broad knowledge base of the lending industry. You learn alot of the consumer finance world--the financial aspects and customer-service aspects of consumer lending. Also, you become pretty knowledgable about the auto industry as well and able to predict individuals' salaries and wages.

Cons

Field calling accounts--going out to people's houses to collect payments if cannot reach them by phone. Various encounters with customers, some of whom can have a short temper and/or bad attitude. Lending standards vary and approvals change often.
