Pros

great customers, great employees.There really isn't much good anyone can say about working for dollar general.Their is not many pros one can come up with easily.

Cons

Here the company goes again.Company is still ttop heavy, payroll budjets are way to thin. Another corporate visit couple of weeks ago. Unlimited hours for that store, completely unrealistic store being viewed from corporate, How is upper management going to help us solve these problems, if they keep seeing these stores. They need to walk in unannounced to some stores to see how things really are, not a staged store where everything has been made perfect for their visit. How are they suppose to help when they think things are like that in every store. I really hope that someone is using this site to learn more about their company. Lets nominate some one from corporate to be on "Undercover Boss"., maybe somethings would change for the better.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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