Flexible schedule but struggles with work-life balance - Cashier pOpshelf Employee Review

Creative Excellent leadership Growth potential Work life balance

None, leadership wants everyone to grow and succeed with them

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.

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.
