Pros

Decent Pay (at corporate) Most Holidays off (at corporate) Lots of free samples HUGE on charity

Cons

The Help Desk is in the Philippines and all but one of the people in this country are temp. Excel is one of the most used tool and no Excel Specialist there. My computer was down for a week and a half during our busiest season which put me majorly behind. 6 months later it was still acting up and I got a bad yearly review and a write up for not using the correct systems. They never mentioned the 15 open help desk tickets in either. My husband said it was due to a 64 gig computer running 32 program. In October, the eliminated 250 positions. Keep in mind, a typical department has 2-4 people to cover 13,000 stores. Yes, I had 5,500 stores under me and everything is paper. I had dreams of the Hague coming after me for crimes against arboreal kind. So, everyone was doing more work with less with dated technology. That is when they chose to start cutting all of the fun perks that made the job enjoyable because the CEO didn't want us out of the office for an hour.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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