Pros

Enjoyed working with customers and the employees were really nice when you are nice to them. Learned a lot about setting up displays, and sorting merchandise for each department. How to check in merchandise from vendors and store trucks. Perform close out duties and manage employees. Learned how to set up new store from Store Merchandiser and other store employees who shared their knowledge

Cons

Long hours, morning, mid, evening sometimes late when you first opened the store. Working with other managers that lacked skills for their position. Working with a manager that did not want to help you when you had issues closing the store. Low pay for management position. Way too much wrong merchandise for a store. It takes too long to get mileage approved.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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