Pros

I've worked for DG since Feb this year, after relocating to another town I needed a job with better hours and closer to home and, man did i find it! Within the past 6 month's ive gone from just a basic Associate, to a key holder and traveling to different stores to assist them with various task. My expenses are covered and the hotel rooms are always nice as well, this is a company that will take care of those who go above and beyond. it's not for everyone, but if you can start from the bottom and throw freight like a beast, your sure to get your DM to notice, every store has only about 8 employees, so keeping your head down and nose clean helps too.

Cons

It takes forever for them to fire the slackers, especially due to regulations... and when you have only 8 people per store, it tends to impact the way things flow and the personal lives of everyone who works there....other than that I love it!

Pros

Leadership is supportive and inspiring. The culture is energizing, the people are collaborative, friendly, supportive, everyone is working hard towards the same goal. The company is growing at an impressive rate and has aggressive growth plans. Excellent opportunity to join the team, learn the business, earn your stripes and take your career as far as you want.

Cons

Not really a con, like most companies, if you want a long term career, you’ll need to be ready to work really hard and contribute.
