Pros

There are no pros for DG

Cons

Underpaid, expectations are high, corporate only allows a minimum amount of hours to distribute, that's why all DGs look like crap and can't keep help. When a person quits the hours go down instead of up. You're one less person to put stock away but you can't bring another employee in because the total hours went down. CRAZY. Our manager never turned in employee quitting for over 2 weeks because her hours would go down. Corporate had full control over heater. It was the damnest company I've ever seen.

Pros

The job itself is easy. The cash register, stocking (especially the totes and dry truck) and cleaning are so simple however there are certain things that make it difficult, although the work itself is not (under the right circumstances.)

Cons

They never have enough people on shift so it’s always difficult to get things done. It seems like all the managers I know from the store I worked at and the surrounding ones are all so deep into drama it made me wonder if I was back in high school. Dry truck always seems to bring far too much and the stores are so little that overstock is a huge issue here. The reason I ultimately left was due to severe mistreatment and some safety concerns I had regarding some past experiences. I am very glad I left and I would not ever go back.
