Pros

Great relocation package! Interview process was straight forward. Very pleasant people here and located in a fantastic area. I relocated from the northeast and compensation is comparable if not better overall.

Cons

None to date! This is my first day but coming on board here has been a pleasure.

Pros

Always busy, somewhat flexible hours, something new every day, close to home, no graveyard shift, can quickly move up the ladder.

Cons

The ladder is a step stool, and by the time you are making a living at DG, you might as well live in the store.
