Pros

Probably a good position for an internal Manager being promoted, who doesn't know better. If you are a seasoned DM, this is not the company for you. DG's DM's are nothing more than glorified Store Managers. You spend 70-80 hours a week micromanaging, running Shrink numbers and conducting Internal Audits on Store Managers who are not equipped nor trained to run stores. Yes, those are the Pros! Seeing the other reviews- Corporate has the budget to have HR writing reviews. Tsk Tsk.. Put that money and effort in the stores where it belongs!

Cons

It never ends! There is zero work-life balance. The culture across the board is all store employees are Thiefs and incompetent. For the most part, they are not the caliber of SM's any other company would hire. If they can "throw" freight, are willing to work 65+ hrs a week- they're HIRED! No professional Manager would run one of these stores. The expectation level of Corporate is unreasonable. You cannot hire effectively, have no time to train a SM, much less ASM's- which equates to a revolving door and double digit shrink.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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