Pros

When you have worked so hard to accomplish something and you finally did, with all the work and people pulling against you, working and helping nice people

Cons

You get hardly any hours...DG thinks less hours is best so its one person to a shift...then your being yelled at that product is not stocked but when you work alone you cant stock shelves...you dont get meal breaks but get in trouble for not taking a lunch when you are alone....you try and eat when there are no customers and it can be hard. You dread corporate coming in because they yell and complain that nothing is done, but when you have a bad team and skeleton crew and a huge store you are only person and cant do everything but they expect it to be done or you are fired. Lots and lots of mental and emotional harrassment from this company. They do not help employees and do not hire the best employees which in turn make it hard for the ones that are trying their best.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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