Pros

Dollar General is a top notch retailer with tons of upside potential - for its customers, shareholders, and employees. There is so much investment in people's career development. With the exceptional growth and financial stability - the future is bright! I have never worked for an organization that worked so hard to ensure its employees were well-trained, had great career opportunities and a fun environment in which to work. Awesome!

Cons

Retail can be a tough industry, regardless of the company. It requires people with a strong work ethic, great customer service skills, and a desire to succeed each and every day. Not everyone fits that mold.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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