Pros

Its a job. You get your paycheck on time.

Cons

Don’t be fooled. This company paints a pretty picture to get people in but this is one of the worst companies to work for. The turnover rate is terrible. The “competitive “ pay is the worst in the industry. Chick-fil-a pays their employees more. The bonus program is fixed so that it is almost impossible to get a bonus. And those great hours? Try never getting another weekend for the rest of your life or being able to spend time with your family for the holidays. Mix in constantly being watched on camera (not a joke) and always being treated like you’re disposable and voila! Thats Advance America. They seem to enjoy making their employees misearble.

Pros

The customers were awesome. Developed relationships with every customer.. Pto was generous.

Cons

Little opportunity to use pto.. did not rollover..would lose all unused at end of year. Employees were just a number..not people. 6years of my life dedicated..closed my stored to "company realignment" aka..went online and closed store fronts. Left with nothing to show for it. Looked for every reason to not give severance package. I missed my own geandfathers funeral for this company..I was terminated without even a second thought.
