      Store employee

      Pros

      people made us smile mgrs well another story ..

      Cons

      truck shipments too large ..backroom and sales floor too small for what they send and if mgrs actually worked on the floor and not just in the office or expect the team to do all their work it would be a better place...giving asm and other key members a bonus like they do the mgrs..would actually be nice since we were doing the work in displaying the products selling the products to the customers while the so-called mgr sits in the back on her duff not doing a darn thing ....yeah it's true the mgr i had coul not even merchandise her own store without my help...and she gets paid the big bucks...wow

      Good place to start out in Corp Retail, but limited incentives to stick around.

      Pros

      Solid company with pretty standard Retail operations. If you're interested in a career in Corporate Retail environment and want to learn the ropes of various Merchandising operations, this company is a good start.

      Cons

      Compensation very low and limited initiative exists to train internal employees to advance within the company. Essentially not much promotions or development opportunity, especially for people at the bottom of the latter (entry level positions).

      good part time job to get experience to go somewhere else

      Assistant manager, previously manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      because hours are varied, there is no problem getting time off for appointments. I have been there too many years to go somewhere else, I have worked for DG for 15 years, and get 3wks paid vacation. goodbenefits, but you have to pay. they match up to 5% for 401K.

      Cons

      Low pay, very hard physical work, menial jobs for management. they require you to work alone in the store sometimes, and make you go to other stores to work.
