We're not the slow, old-fashioned retail IT shop you think we are. We used to be, but those days are long gone. In fact, we don't even think of Aaron's as a retail company. Instead, we think of Aaron's as a technology company that happens to lease furniture, electronics, and appliances. This way of thinking has demanded a massive shift in who we hire, how we organize and lead our teams, and how we deliver our services. It's pretty simple: We hire smart people who are motivated by delivering big, impactful results, we point them at big problems to solve, and we get out of their way.
