Pros

Opportunities are endless, they provide the ability to grow and learn all facets of the business. The culture is what makes this company different than so many other big corporations. You are really able to control your own career growth if you are not afraid to work hard and you have the opportunity to be creative and suggest ways of improving the business. I have my dream job that i didn't even know was possible here but through hard work and great team results my leaders had faith in me and gave me the chance to keep improving the organization.

Cons

We really are a low cost operator and are very focused on saving the customer money and serving others. This does impact us but because we truly care about each other we still have fun! At times we all have a larger work load than some other corporations. This amount of work is for everyone within the organization- everyone works really hard. The Pro is that the training and growth you receive here is the most important. "Best career decision I made!"

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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