Pros

Paid weekly. Work hard and you may have opportunities to advance in the company.

Cons

DG demands maximum effort at minimum pay. Schedules are a suggestion only. Be prepared to get a phone call or text at any time - including on days off - demanding you come in, or wanting to know why you are late for your shift when the schedule was just changed that morning and no one bothered to tell you ("it is your responsibility to check the board...") .

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

- Horrible life/work balance. Especially if you have kids - Expect you to pick up shifts at the drop of a hat - Usually if you do your job, they make you do everyone else's - Like to blame you if you're not neglecting your job to stalk a coworker to make sure they're doing their job. - Sometimes work full shifts with no lunch break or break period -Work long shifts completely by yourself with no help and have to do everything from register to stocking to truck -Fresh truck that comes weekly, that you have to put in fridge and freezer - Pay is pretty crappy. Worked there for 3 years and new employee starting wage was what I was making after being there longer.

Pros

Community outreach, benefits were good

Cons

Overworked, underpaid, horrible working conditions, no support from leadership...all they're interested in is faking numbers, puting out fires before next corporate visit, and pushing real issues that could cause longterm damage to the company in its entirety under the rug.
