Pros

A handful of my coworkers were wonderful. They do have benefits but they're not the greatest.

Cons

No employee discount Retaliation via cutting hours and hostile workplace and lies One of the sales associates tried to get me fired after I had to write her up (she went to starbucks on the clock for an hour and a half) by calling corporate and pretended to be an upset customer saying I was drunk and drugged out at work, she was dumb enough to use her personal number so when my manager went to call the "customer" for more details it was easy to figure out since that was the number she used for the group chat. When that didnt work they started putting nails in my tires (I dont have solid proof but it happened 6 times, with a total 11 nails through out a 2 month time frame, always only happened driving home after working with said employee and I have not had any flat tires since I quit 4 months ago, so 95% sure it was them) didnt fire her and forced me to work alone with her constantly. They do not take the safety of their employees or customers seriously, the only thing that matters is that the corporate hags get their money. Basically go read the r/ dollargeneralworkers reddit page and that is exactly what working for popshelf is like, the only difference is DG wears black and yellow and popshelf wears purple. Unrealistic labor goals, expecting one to two people doing the work of 4-5 people. A good manager is rare, only one of the 4 managers I worked with was competent and a pleasure to work with.

Pros

Salary isn’t terrible, your peers are helpful and available for problem solving. Benefits are there, nothing to speak highly on, 3 holidays they recognize for paid holiday. But they do offer benefits to FT employees. No sick accumulation pto days tho. Can be a very fun and interesting job. It’s a very clean and inviting store to come into.

Cons

Tasks are hard to stay on top of and complete with in a timely manner. Trucks are heavy with product and have no locations. finding employees to work part time and be productive is difficult at times. Older products are never usually marked down to sell through so it’s always building up in the stock room. Someone calls in there’s not a lot of employees (2 FT and 3 PT total) you are always required to stay if there’s no one to cover. They don’t pay much over minimum wage for entry level positions, finding the perfect fit with the right qualifications for that amount of money, is a full time job itself. No OT is ever allowed for store coverage. Heavily loaded with POG changes and seasonal change overs are becoming more often than not anymore. They allow extra hours to help with completing. Usually just enough to work your other tasks and just get started good on change overs before they drop another few.
