Pros

Popshelf has great co-workers and a great company culture. They make sure to hire great people, and you will get along with near everyone guaranteed, as well as great systems for encouragement.

Cons

Non-existant benefits, High Stress due to constant moves, never a chance to breathe, Constant understaffing and overworking, Unrealistic Standards for work (Eg. needing to be both at register, and needing at the back at the store for a move and needing to put out a set amount of freight, and recover, and so on so forth, none of which gets done (or one task gets done) due to short staffing and cut hours), High stress on Management, Keyholders, Employees. Expect very high turnover. Due to such low staff, expect high amounts of drama as well, Primarily due to the fact there is always so much to do, and typically only two or three people an entire day available to work,

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.
