Pros

Store and assistant managers nice and willing in terms of employee development, but largely unable to exucute due to restrictive labor hours.

Cons

Took a month from the date of the job offer to the first day of work. During the two week period that I worked, I only worked at one location twice. In one instance I had to drive 75 miles one way, and at every closing shift the store deposits and tills would not balance. This did not seem to alarm the managers training me, but being up or down by as much as $100 should be terrifying. Furthermore what does it say when a company will allow customers to enter a facility that has water leaking constantly from the ceiling in every quandrant of the store in multiple places, coupled with the overwhelming smell of dead animals or rodents.

Pros

There will always be Dollar General stores

Cons

- Leadership is unclear, unfocused, unwilling to provide information, or support. It is all about their ego, being "right", and the good ole boys club. - Leadership is very performative and do not actually care for their employees wellbeing. They are looking for robots without lives. - Feedback is considered wrong and if you do not 100% agree with everything they say, you will be treated as though you committed a crime. They are interested in yes men only and will find a way to push employees out regardless of the validity. - Work life balance does not exist and org policies only apply to those that they like. They've chased all of their top talent away with terrible changes and framed it as a perk we asked for. - Every conversation, speech, memo, and email is fake and performative. They do not live what they say. - They copy every other retailer, are stuck in the past, and DEI was quietly eliminated to avoid the backlash like Target. - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume. If you like disgusting shared spaces, fake perks, and talentless leaders, this place is for you.
