Cash registers are horribly designed and hurt your back - Part Time Key Holder Dollar General Employee Review

Pros

Ummm.... I only work evenings, which is good for the nocturnal

Cons

The cash register is horribly designed and NEEDS to be redesigned to help the cashier's back. The register is just a cabinet, which is way too thick, so cashier has to lean forward really far to reach products; cashier has to lean forward to reach the scanner and the computer screen; cashier has to lean far left/step left to reach shipping bags; cashier has to walk right to reach a receipt. Please make TWO registers, with normal moving belt, and thin area, with NO LEANING OVER TO HURT OUR BACK. This store has no way to call for another cashier except literally yelling and hoping she hears you. There's only ever 2 employees in here, and we have no overhead call sound when the register is backed up. My back is constantly killing me because of how much I have to lean over at the stupid register.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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