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

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.
