Pros

Customers and doing planograms are fun as long as you have time to do them while running back and forth from register to working truck and also trying to focus on resets and planograms.

Cons

Can't really move up in this company and you will have no home life or time for yourself and your friends and family. They do not pay that well and it's really just not worth it especially dealing with daily issues with customers, dg coupons problems, etc issues, and not having the budget to have more then two people each shift at a time, and more then likely you will work 3 out of 7 days a week alone and have a line of 10 people or more that don't understand why they have to wait and why you don't have backup. When it's soppost to be about the customers coming first, you would think that they would think about that instead of not wanting to pay more employees what they deserve and give enough hours a week in order to please customers at the same time making our job much easier and make it something we love.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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