      Pros

      They are trying very hard to get caught up to the 20th century. Also as a company they are very.strong financially.and source a.great deal of their products from the U.S.

      Cons

      Very negative management style. SM's are epxpected to pick up the slack for horrible payroll. As a manager sometimes I spend.20 plus hours as a cashier per week. Store managers are required.to work 5.5 days a week. Plus the home office.jams so much stuff down your throat that if there is.any hiccup in your week you are way behind.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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