Pros

Once a customer gets a payday loan, they are usually 'hooked' for life. Research about the payday lending industry to learn more. Stores are not open past 7 pm or on Sundays usually.

Cons

Regional Managers fire at least one Divisional Manager every year to show they are 'doing their job'. Divisional Managers will fire up to four store Managers every year - not from issues with them usually - but from pressure of RD to do so. If a DM stands up for their employees, they should expect to be the one heading out the door. The company does not like management employees to gain much tenure. Many experienced store managers, DMs and RMs have been weeded out - fire higher paid managers and bring in new ones who will work cheaper.

Great training and leadership courses online. Easy job. Easy to promote if you put in the effort and not just go for a paycheck. Bonuses are a plus

You mostly work by your self. Some zoom meeting which makes it boring.
