Pros

The insurance was cheap. Many locations gave an opportunity for transferring. Usually home by 10pm. Showed me how easy it is to become a store manager if desired.

Cons

Where to begin..... Very unorganized and outdated on their ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software. Very little ability in training employees to fully understand what is going on. Did not feel comfortable trusting management (even on a district level) with HIPAA associated concerns. Even with a doctor's note I was told to write up associates for attendance. There were several times that I heard (from managers of other stores) discuss reasons why an employee was terminated or quit, as well as one occasion where a manager told a potential future employer of one associate (which is confidential information). Managers were underpaid, as were some employees. We were constantly threatened with termination (management and associate levels). Didn't have a sense of trust that a team should have. Huge turnover rates. I have yet to find anyone on a store level to be happy with their job with DG, and with almost any other company you can find at least 1.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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