Pros

I get to work and help contribute to society (my community) while earning a paycheck. Challenging work to build my confidence through what I accomplish! Work and reach goals; end with high productivity results. Opportunity to advance and excel in other rewarding positions.

Cons

Working with whiners who think they can get something for nothing and are not willing to be a team player! With such a large applicant pool available, I do not understand why they are employed by any company whatsoever! If you want welfare, apply for it, but don't ask for a job and then whine and complain when you get it! I hate cry babies who think they should receive special treatment because their mama kept them in diapers until they were old enough to collect social security! If you think the original owner of DG din't work his tail off for what he built you are a dipwad! If you want to succeed you have to work for it, otherwise play more lotto and apply for welfare and allow those who want to succeed to avoid less obstacles, like yourself! People who attempt to meet what are perceived to be impossible goals are regularly high achievers! For those who feel they have been discriminated against and not evaluated for your work ethic; have you done a self-assessment? In my experience most people screaming discrimination are almost always the discriminator. Bottom line in any court; what's your proof? As a plaintiff you have the burden of proof in any civil suit. If you are a lazy worm, do not apply! Also do not bring up a problem without offering a possible solution that makes sense; it's what professional people do! For the thieves, STOP stealing, you are a thief and I hope you go to prison when you are caught!

Pros

The job itself is easy. The cash register, stocking (especially the totes and dry truck) and cleaning are so simple however there are certain things that make it difficult, although the work itself is not (under the right circumstances.)

Cons

They never have enough people on shift so it’s always difficult to get things done. It seems like all the managers I know from the store I worked at and the surrounding ones are all so deep into drama it made me wonder if I was back in high school. Dry truck always seems to bring far too much and the stores are so little that overstock is a huge issue here. The reason I ultimately left was due to severe mistreatment and some safety concerns I had regarding some past experiences. I am very glad I left and I would not ever go back.
