Pros

I enjoyed the people the most. Benefits were great, 401K match was good but you have to work a minimum of two years to get the pay out and they don't share that part with you. They put you through a training program for equipment knowledge and Rental Man training.

Cons

Frustrating working in the call center, the programming is difficult to learn at first and you are on the phone under pressure right away with little to no training. I started in the Sales Associate program with commission opportunity, then moved into ISR role losing my commission. Long hours 7-5 (sometimes 6)

Pros

Decent benefits Decent pay Decent perks Overall not a bad place to start a career but wouldn't recommend finishing one there. I've been looking for a door for years. I got stuck when I was younger. I recommend coming in learning the trade and moving on.

Cons

No work life balance to speak of. Used to have to work Saturdays but not anymore (although a few stores are still open then). Pay is okay but not great. Long hours sometimes. Getting to work at 6 and leaving at 6-7 is not a good way to keep happy employees.
