Pros

Well. I had to think, but really couldn't come up with anything. Keep in mind the stock is down to $17 a share from $36. That is alot folks. There are issues. RAC can't or won't change to stop the slide.

Cons

You will work 10/12 hour days. You will work EVERY Saturday. You WILL to into dirty scummy homes. You will deal with people who can't afford RAC, but do it anyway. Your DM will be a POS and will beat you down daily. RAC is a hood rat job folks. The expectations they set for your store will mostly be unreachable. The stock is down from 1.5 years $36 a share to $17. Hmmm.....why do you believe that is? RAC is a rip-off. They prey on the poor, and people who have very, very poor credit. But, people are stupid.

Pros

The benefits can be decent, there are growth opportunities, and if you’re lucky, you work with a great team.

Cons

Poor management on many levels. From a store level, extending to corporate, the “leadership” needs work on their people skills. People are only capable of handling so much, and the lack of support from upper management makes it harder to work day to day. Additionally, the goalpost is always moving. If you manage to exceed their expectations, completing those same goals will no longer be good enough. The lack of support when it comes to customer abuse is embarrassing. We’re in 2026 and we should want to support the teams that are keeping the company running. Corporate is out of touch with reality. Anyone making over 6 figures a year no longer view customers as people, but as numbers. It doesn’t matter what horrid stories you hear on a daily basis, they are expected to bend to standards that shouldn’t exist anymore.
