Pros

I like working at DG hours great, close to home. Enjoy local people coming in and bering able to help.

Cons

Lots and lots to do. There's gotta be a better way to cover schedules when the truck comes in. Power hours and Power days should be a phrase to describe. Communication w/staff could help. Everyone should help. Learns the store

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.
