Respect Is Part of Customer Service
This review is specifically about the Carrollton, Georgia Rent A Center and my experience with Store Manager Melissa Holland. This is not a complaint about company policy. I accepted responsibility for my late payment, paid my account, and paid the applicable late fee. My concern is how I was treated when I called seeking clarification about court paperwork that had been left at my home after my account had already been brought current. Instead of receiving a simple explanation, I was repeatedly lectured about what I "should have done." I was not asking for special treatment or disputing the filing fee. I simply wanted an explanation. As someone who works in operations management, I understand that policies must be enforced. I also know that professionalism, empathy, and respectful communication are the marks of effective leadership. Customers should never leave a conversation feeling belittled for asking a reasonable question. After reading other reviews of this location and the manager's public responses, my experience does not appear to be unique. I encourage anyone considering doing business with the Carrollton location to read those responses and form their own opinion. The filing fee was never the issue. The lack of professionalism was. I hope Rent A Center's corporate leadership reviews the customer service culture at this location because every customer deserves to be treated with respect, even during difficult conversations.
