      Pros

      The stores are usually pretty flexible. Makes it easy to work around doctors appointments and such or a child in school.

      Cons

      Everything else. Very stressful. Very high expectations, but they don't give you what you need to meet those expectations. They allow customers to treat you like garbage and then make you call them to apologize so they will continue to shop there. You are required to work 6 days a week as a SM which leaves little room for a personal life. If there is really bad weather and travel bans, you're still required to risk your life and go in for those maybe 10 customers who live next door to shop. Very very greedy. They don't care about you.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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