Pros

None, hours are terrible and you’re expected to finish an entire work week of work in 5 hours, there isn’t any full time and they cut hours and think you can live with that! THERE IS NO HEAT AND THEY DONT CARE BECAUSE THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO CUT COSTS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE EMPLOYEES!

Cons

Customers are constantly concerned that there is only one person working which is a big safety issue and corporate doesn’t care! If you have to go to the bathroom forget it they expect you to stay at the register! This company is a joke.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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