      Old school, traditional retailer with culture that reflects it

      Pros

      Opportunity to transition between departments are fairly easily to obtain, but only below manager level. Covered parking. On-site cafeteria with decent food and excellent staff, though old and outdated dining area. Probably a great place to work if you want to sit in a low level job and work a flat schedule your whole career without having to learn new skills. On-site gym that is very cheap. On-site daycare for people with kids who care about that, though I'm told it is expensive.

      Cons

      Office located in Goodlettsville. Presence in the community is not near as strong as the company flaunts. Offices are outdated with old furniture and dirty carpet, have seen little to no renovation in what is now a 17 year old building. Horribly strong traditional office culture. Cubicles, closed off meeting spaces, unnecessarily long meetings and a staff unwilling to deter from legacy behavior. Lack of technology. Technologically advanced at DG SSC means you can use MS Excel skillfully, and most employees cannot. Simply not an innovative company, lead by grind-it-out style leadership. Favoritism toward employees with children. Little issue with someone constantly being out of office because of kid issues, but if you have no children leadership doesn't understand what you might possibly have to do except work. Big corporate. Slow to achieve anything. Current CEO has no presence at the office and has driven the degradation in company's culture.

      Pros

      Room for advancement if you want it, You make the schedule, fun place to work most of the time, fast pace days go by quick

      Cons

      If your short handed or staff is not well trained there is no work life balance, not enough labor hours to get everything done, no extra labor to train new hires
