Working for DG

Pros

It wasnt the best job honestly but it was a good place to work if you like a fast paced environment. My boss was absolutely wonderful and she did the best she could with minimal power and control over staffing on a local store level

Cons

It was horrible in terms of staffing they could have done so much better instead of leaving to a high stress low empathy environment where we were bombarded by customers constantly and had to manage customer intake along with stocking

Heading downhill

Pros

Mostly this is an easy going environment. There is stress, but not excessive and most upper management (director level) care about their teams.

Cons

Senior management is out of touch with the people that work in the store support center and probably the stores too. They decided to have a return to work from a hybrid system, but left one day at home. Now they are taking that away too. They claim we asked for it, but that's all obvious lie. If it were true the change would be unnecessary since everyone would just come in. It's crazy how 90% of my meetings are on teams and not in person. It's just stupid management that will hurt DG in the long run. Back out to the job market I guess.
