Pros

The people at the corporate office are great. Everyone is trying to do their best on a very lean staff.

Cons

New CEO has come in and taken away all of the fun, engaging activities and changed operating priorities without communicating the change. The company seems to be shifting away from "Serving Others" and only focused on how much money the company is making. Work life balance is awful; too much work and not enough people. Reducing in force has only made it worse. Opportunities for growth are limited for those with long tenure. It seems that only newer employees are given opportunities to move to new positions and grow with the company.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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