      Pros

      Great start to management if you have never managed.

      Cons

      No work life balance, store mgr work 6 days 48 - 60 hour per week, DM's take away your labor hours, required to be fully staffed and schedule PT associates 10hr per week and expect them to travel to different stores to gain more hours. The company does not care about the staff, the store conditions, or the customers. 99% of DG's across the country are ran poorly, dingy, dirty, and shelves are empty. Store managers are expected to manage the business and do all the work on the sales floor because you have to run the store on a skeleton crew, 2 people pre shift.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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