      Pros

      Growing company with many opportunities to advance. Fast pace environment, never a dull moment in a work day. Great stepping stone to another career.

      Cons

      Unrealistic expectations! With a growing company there are many changes to be made, but there is no additional labor to complete tasks. The stores revenue is growing, but there is no increase in man hours to take care of customers, handle stocking and handle store presentation. Store managers are the ones working long hours; usually 10 to 14 hours a day, 6 days a week. It is not an ideal job for anyone with a family. Low employee moral. Low pay for store employees.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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