Pros

DG has always made me feel welcome and valued. The people I have worked with here have literally helped change my life during the years I've been with the company. For someone who has family and friends that are scattered across the country in various states, it's amazing to be able to come to work and feel like you're at home, sit in meetings like you're sitting at the table with family, and never have to reach further than the person next to you to find someone you can lean on during tough times.

Cons

Stepping away from a place like DG would be a difficult thing to do. I've gotten used to such an enriching and empowering environment that I'm sure it would be very difficult to find another employer that could live up to my expectations!

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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