Pros

There is nothing good about this company.

Cons

Six days training at another store. Then sent to my store to manage. Didn't know much of anything. Scheduled 25 hours average out of my 48 by myself to run register. Could not go to the bathroom. Those 48 hours I was scheduled, only get paid for 40. They already got 8 hours a week from me. Call outs, I had to cover. 43 weeks in a row no days off. Just did 22 days off in a row also. Could not leave when I was sick, no hours. Thank goodness no emergencies with my family. District manger has favorites, dose not return phone calls or texts. Company does not pay for 6 major holidays. Stole money because of health insurance.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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