Pros

paid weekly, some great customers

Cons

No home/work life. Disrespected, hard work gets you no where. Went through 7 DM's in 15 years, only 1 good one who cared and helped us. He had the lowest manager turnover in the years I was there. The last one had no respect for her managers, didn't answer calls or return messages, with the highest manager turnover I've ever seen in 26 years in retail. Given very little hours to run a store on. I'm afraid for the people left there with the Virus because they have to be on the front lines in harms way with little help. DG doesn't give enough hours to clean, stock and help customers. It's a breeding ground for the virus.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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