Rent A Center Rent a Scam is no place for workers nor customers Allover Alabama

The guys I worked with were promoted left and right. As a matter of fact the dumbest guy in the store was promoted 2x's in a year. All because he was buddies with the assistant manager who really ran the store. RAC is worse to its employees than they are with the customers. I am a female who has dealt with that and more and am still dealing with it. and i am not employed.

If this is who I think it is, you are way off!!!! I like to look on here...kinda like a rubberneck at an accident site...but I have no comment. Hope you're doing well, and I think of you everytime I see a frikkin' game system from the far east.
Take care,
me

For anyone following this story. I never worked with these people personally but I know that alot of the original complaints are probably true!!!

Don't try to sugar coat the company. I worked for them for four years and they suck. They use people, abuse them, overwork them, underpay them. There are tools available to aid in deliveries but the use of them is shunned heavily!!! Many of these items are broken or out of stock, i.e. gloves-buy your own! It is not uncommon for managers to use the day to handle personal business or take a walk or nap. We were made to protect them!

As far as incident reports...YOU WERE NOT ALLOWED TO FILL THEM OUT BECAUSE IT WAS AUTOMATICALLY A $2500 DEDUCTIBLE AGAINST THE STORE'S BOTTOM LINE!

TELL THE TRUTH!

And, I do not know who you presume to be, acting like you know me and s***. I ain't never benn married you dumbass. And if you worked at Bonnies store, you didn't work with me retard.I just know a whole lot of s**t about the stores I worked around. IE; tammy used to be the mngr at that store...and in fact, how do you know that I ain't tammy?
she didn't like any of you people, and would have loved to skewered you.
And the reason you don't know ALL of the facts about my hurt knee is that you did not work at my store you j*****f.
You said it's been 8 months or so since I worked there? You should buy a clue...try a year and a half....gettin warmer?
I transferred out of that hellhole, thinking maybe there were good honest people somewhere.
later

Hmmm...

For anyone reading, I worked with the individual filing this report. I know all the individuals he mentioned by name (and currently work with two of them at my location).

First of all, the experiences you describe while working for the company are just plain not true and you know it. I can't speak from firsthand knowledge about your observation day (it wasn't at the store I work in), but I know that doesn't sound like anything the people at that store at that time would have made you do. Regarding when you worked at the same store as me, you know full well there were always dollies available if you wanted to use them (we had then and still have a total of four dollies). Second of all, I don't remember the details of when you hurt your knee (I DO remember you saying you hurt it, but honestly it was long enough ago that I don't remember the details), but I know that no one would ever try to prevent you from filing an accident report if you wanted to.

As for you needing a job because Rent-A-Center took all of your money, well, your rental contracts at store 3538 were entirely voluntary and "at will", meaning you could have walked away from them anytime you wanted and never paid Rent-A-Center another dime (something you yourself have posted to others on this site in the past). And let's be honest: you needed a job because you'd lost your source of income as part of the fallout of your marriage breaking up and your actions afterward. Rent-A-Center had absolutely nothing to do with it.

In regards to the rest (the real reason I'm posting here), you're way out of line talking about Bonnie like that. First of all, how long did you work for the company? A few months? You barely knew Bonnie, and certainly weren't privy to her private life. Bonnie is one of the kindest, nicest people on this planet. I have more respect for her than pretty much anyone else I've ever met, and you spouting off crap like that is totally uncalled for, and just plain not true. It's not something Bonnie would ever do or Tom would do. Both are happily married, and I hope for Steve's sake (and yours) he never hears about this (unlikely, unfortunately, because you see how fast I found out about it). Be glad you don't live around here anymore, because even if Steve didn't slug you in the mouth for your personal attack on Bonnie, I WOULD. I considered you a friend when we worked together, and for you to come on here ranting like this, eight or nine months after the fact, and making up crazy stuff is the kind of ignorant behavior I would never tolerate in a friend. Here are a few legal terms you might consider looking up real quick: "defamation of character" and "libel".

You left the company eight or nine months ago. Move on, already, and don't play games like this on the internet where you can affect someone's marriage AND open yourself to legal reprise.

I worked for this company for over 4 years.
Sure they had issues like most companies, but nothing like you described.
My guys may have out in some extra time to get their routs straight, but it was made up to them with bonuses and extra time later.
We had a dolly(hand truck) for every truck, back braces and safety gloves.
We never sent out just one person if there were stairs involved and ALL of our employees not only had back ground checks, but consumer checks and drug screening.
