Pros

Benefits were nice, pay was solid, appreciated having peers that you could bounce ideas off of. Enjoyed the customers we had and the seasonal sets.

Cons

Can’t decide whether they’re pOpshelf owned or Dollar General owned. One day it’s a PS policy, the next it’s a DG policy yet uppers claim they’re getting away from the DG side. They don’t pay out PTO, don’t offer sick days, and staffing is minimal to none. They expect stores to keep up the same standard across the board, yet some stores are using 200+ hours of payroll while others run at 125, and they continue to add more on top while trying to finish other tasks. It’s become very micromanaged, you’re always submitting photos and reports for something, god forbid you forget to check it off. Trucks are hit or miss. You’re either getting the right amount or more, OR DG product. It’s hard to plan because you can’t really anticipate what’s coming besides an estimated carton count. Also, if you get dismissed, don’t expect them to have your last paycheck correct because that part also runs under the DG side rather than pOpshelf side. All in all, it was great at the beginning, but it’s kind of a relief to not have to work there anymore.

Pros

I've been at this store for 4 years. Good work flow, decent pay, ¢25 raise every year on your start date, my personal manager(s) are amazing and so is our team. Gives me good work ethic where I am at for somebody in their early 20's.

Cons

Truck drivers don't know what they're doing most of the time, warehouse needs to learn to actually pack rolltainers. We get lots of info way too late and gives us minimum time to get big projects done, but luckily it seems switching to compass things are slowly being fixed with that.
