Pros

Store culture, benefits, clean remodeled stores

Cons

The pay is awful. When pOpshelf first opened its doors payroll was manageable and reasonable. Over a year when company started cutting payroll and adding more “tasks” and asks, it was hard to keep good employees due to hours being dramatically cut. Think 154 hours per week…many times employees were in the store for a few hours by themselves, or only two in the morning or evenings. I started to realize that they were easing into Dollar General ways and I was naive to believe they were going to run pOpshelf stores differently. Even with those few hours given, you were demanded to send help to other stores, sometimes in other states, for weeks at a time. There was no incentive for this and employees hated it. Even with the low pay I would have been willing to stay at pOpshelf had it been the company I started 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.
