Pros

1. You have the ability to make your own schedule. 2. You most likely won't live in close proximity to your boss so you'll be able to become an alcoholic due to the uncertainly of your employment with this company.

Cons

1. You get a cell phone and car allowance, yay! Well, don't get excited because the small stipend will not make up for the wear and tear on your car due to the large territories. Once you're either fired or quit your personal cell phone will get calls all the time from customers asking for help... that's super fun! 2. THE HEALTH BENEFITS ARE TERRIBLE if you do not live in the state of Utah. It took me forever to find a doctor. There are high co pays, high deductibles and only one plan to choose from if you do not reside in UTAH. 3.The salary is bogus. In many cases, not all, they offer you a draw off of your future commissions. When you're fired or quit you won't have to pay the company back the draw which is cool - although you won't stay long enough with the company to do so anyway. THE AVERAGE TENURE OF A SALES REP IS LESS THAN A YEAR. 4. Your boss will be overwhelmed with their own goals and won't have time to help you. They have the exact same sales goals plus goals for all the sales reps below them. 5. This is not a career. Do not fall victim to the people in the company that tell you it's awesome. It's a trap. You're a number. They hire you to get a bunch of clients, set unrealistic goals for you to meet, and then you either quit or are fired and they keep your clients you worked so hard for. I've seen amazing sales reps fail at this company because of their unrealistic goals. Be careful. If I would have known then what I know about this company now I would NEVER EVER, EVERRRRRRRRRRRR taken a job with Acima.
