      Pros

      None that I can think of.

      Cons

      - Horrible life/work balance. Especially if you have kids - Expect you to pick up shifts at the drop of a hat - Usually if you do your job, they make you do everyone else's - Like to blame you if you're not neglecting your job to stalk a coworker to make sure they're doing their job. - Sometimes work full shifts with no lunch break or break period -Work long shifts completely by yourself with no help and have to do everything from register to stocking to truck -Fresh truck that comes weekly, that you have to put in fridge and freezer - Pay is pretty crappy. Worked there for 3 years and new employee starting wage was what I was making after being there longer.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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