Consistent hours, good coworkers, starting pay is decent.
Minpunten
Raises are small, responsibilities stack up pretty fast, customers can be rough to deal with, limited opportunities for advancement, can be called after hours.

Minpunten
Deal with a lot of stress on the job.
Have to work behind a person who may not have done the job they were supposed to do.
Solid schedule - 40 hours per week, not expected to be there more than that.
No one looking over your shoulder constantly (unless you have a new DM, they can't seem to help it)
Mostly great people to work with
Local, immediate management does care and are helpful.
Minpunten
Very large rate increases really upset customers and that's just too bad. We are given word to tell them but it just isn't true. Putting more money in stock holder's pockets is the bottom line and it doesn't matter how much anger we have to deal with.
You are absolutely expected to sell insurance to every renter. However, you must be careful because you aren't "insurance salesmen". You get a ding when you don't sell it. We are encouraged to use evasive language and rush through it so the renter thinks it's required without quite saying so.
You would think this large of a corporation would have handymen available but it is so, so difficult to get the smallest repair done due to getting bids from vendors, turning them in, reminding the person you turned them in to what needs done maybe getting approval, then scheduling. By that time lights (or whatever) have been out for a month or 2.
Benefits are very expensive and cover so little.
