Pros

Literally nothing. I wish I was embellishing. If you’re lucky your district will be decent individuals who dont gossip about one another 24/7. Its like a totem pole, employees are on the bottom, then you, your DM, the RM, etc, etc. At the top two you have your CEO and then investors. Now imagine the investors are birds and they just constantly crap down the totem pole where it inevitably collects at the bottom.

Cons

Corporate cares nothing about you or your employees. As long as they can push more freight then you’re store can handle and you never close theyre happy. Pay is horrific, hours basically constructed so your salary breaks down to $3 or less than what they say. A salary that breaks down to $21 an hour after 40 hours would be $17.50 when working the required 48 hours. You’re more likely to end up working 50-60 as they dont give you enough weekly hours for employees nor pay their employees enough. You get 20 hours of PTO. Benefits suck.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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