      Pros

      Some regulars can be great

      Cons

      Expected to get more stock put out than is reasonable while running register as the only employee in a busy store because the account of hours they give the managers to schedule people is abysmal. The only time there's more than one person there is right before a bank run, during closing shifts, and usually during fresh truck delivery. Also, depending on your manager, you'll get cut down to only one shift a week if you won't cover on your day off, but if you agree every time you can end up working for three weeks straight.

      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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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.
