Pros

A handful of my coworkers were wonderful. They do have benefits but they're not the greatest.

Cons

No employee discount Retaliation via cutting hours and hostile workplace and lies One of the sales associates tried to get me fired after I had to write her up (she went to starbucks on the clock for an hour and a half) by calling corporate and pretended to be an upset customer saying I was drunk and drugged out at work, she was dumb enough to use her personal number so when my manager went to call the "customer" for more details it was easy to figure out since that was the number she used for the group chat. When that didnt work they started putting nails in my tires (I dont have solid proof but it happened 6 times, with a total 11 nails through out a 2 month time frame, always only happened driving home after working with said employee and I have not had any flat tires since I quit 4 months ago, so 95% sure it was them) didnt fire her and forced me to work alone with her constantly. They do not take the safety of their employees or customers seriously, the only thing that matters is that the corporate hags get their money. Basically go read the r/ dollargeneralworkers reddit page and that is exactly what working for popshelf is like, the only difference is DG wears black and yellow and popshelf wears purple. Unrealistic labor goals, expecting one to two people doing the work of 4-5 people. A good manager is rare, only one of the 4 managers I worked with was competent and a pleasure to work with.

Pros

This job was a dream come true. I love the atmosphere, what the company strived for, the cute displays. I didn't even mind the fast paced work and constant overbearing work-load. I thought it was fun, a constant race against time against the new truck that would come and clog our backroom the next week. This place paid me very well but only because of the STL that hired me in believed in hiring for retainment and offered a great starting pay.

Cons

Confused Corporate. They would constantly send two or three different display sets and then decide all of them were supposed to go in the same place yet not allow mixing of sets. The culture is incredibly cliquey, if you're not in with upper management, you're out. You will get the cold shoulder, they will refuse to speak to you. If you perform poorly in their eyes you will hear about it but only because upper management thought it was appropriate to approach part-timers and associates instead of communicating directly. It's incredibly childish and high-school like.
