Pros

Dollar General truly believes in empowering each individual to their fullest potential. Their training succession programs are impressive. They have a different training program designed for each position in the company. If an employee has the ability and desire to learn, there is a path for them at Dollar General.

Cons

Dollar General is a very fast paced environment and asks that each employee in the company be the very best that they can be. While this is what I love about Dollar General, I can see where the challenge might not be for everyone.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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