Pros
-its a job in a bad economy. -having a job helps you to get a better job. -experience.
Cons

They have to basically stab you in the face with a knife in front of at least 3 witnesses to be able to fire them. -mandatory 6 day workweeks in fourth quarter, the stores aren't actually busy enough to need you there 6 days. - sales expectations are INSANE. they say you are eligible to bonus off your sales but then if you are on track to bonus the company ups the amount needed to bonus so you don't bonus. -You are somehow expected to retain good cashiers by giving them less than 15 hours a week at minimum wage and treating them like dirt (actually been told they are just "cogs" by higher ups) -as a store manager you will spend 90% of your time stocking because you don't have the payroll to have anyone else stock. -if something in your store breaks they WILL NOT fix it, instead you will get constantly yelled at for not having it (example: your internet won't work and you get yelled at for not doing payroll online...) -They are the CHEAPEST company ever... I know everything is a dollar but come on -The customers... wow a dollar store attracts some winners.
