Working at Aaron's — Reviews by Employees

The reviews on here are correct. As a manager in training I have heard the same lies and experienced the same deciet and low pay with promises. It's hard to believe in a company who milks people for money in an econcomy when some people are struggling for food. The worst part is most of those people struggling for food are there own associates. I am getting out.

They promise the world... deliver hell. When I was hired they told me all about the management fast track program, 3-6 months to become a store manager... it's been two years. Every 2 or 3 months for the last 18 I have heard a different story about change and a promotion coming soon. There is no upward mobility because they will not fire they incompetent managers that they have, they threaten them on a weekly basis and even promise their jobs to other people, but they never make changes.
The pay is garbage and they admit it, claiming they dont want you to be content to be an associate, they want people who want to be managers. I personnaly heard a vice president of the company admit to regional manager that he was embarrased what they pay associates. You do not get to be present for your semi annual review. In 2 years there I never saw anyone get a raise. The work week is horrible, on average employees in my store were getting paid for about 80% of the hours the worked.

The problems: No potential to grow(they tell you this, but a damn lie)!!
The supervisors Think they something, but not a damn thing but what the lies Aarons tell them.
Horrible benefits, might as well be on welfare. Welfare people get more benefits than us!!
Work enviroment: I never saw so many people stress out over SO LITTLE PAY IN MY LIFE!!!
