Pros

Dollar General has a great family work life balance. I worked there for 7 years and really enjoyed the "serving others" foundations of the business.

Cons

Change was constant. Programs and directives change on a dime. No clear vision regarding the change. Bonuses are attached to unobtainable earning expectations.

Pros

This was a good job with some great aspects from a professional view. The work was straightforward and by the book for the most part.

Cons

Unfortunately, at the time of my employment, there was a weird culture in the store which was being fostered by someone who I understand has been let go now. I was not comfortable continuing at this place once this person became my boss.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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