Pros

none. it is a crappy job for crappy pay , the medical benefits are a joke, work life balance is a joke.

Cons

workload far greater than the payroll we are given to work with, store manager expected to make up the difference. Due to a lack of payroll manager spends at least a quarter of the dy as the main cashier. company spews mottos "D.G. cares" and "serving others" but in reality the only thing that it cares about or serves is the almighty dollar, employess mean and are treated as nothing.

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
