Pros

Most of the coworkers are easy to get along with and schedules are easily adjusted for things outside of work.

Cons

This is the part you want to read. If you like going to work every day to only have a write up in your face, then this is the place for you. The schedules are spread so thin that the management has no one to close with and as of late, no one to open with. Not to mention you are still held accountable for getting a work list done that includes 100% recovery within a 2 hour time frame. The POS systems suck, the safe at the front door is the most ridiculous thing if your office to count the money is at the back of the store, and the favorites/ attitude that you get from upper management is the worst. They can do no wrong. 3rd Key/ Lead Sales Full time? Expect 30 hours per week. I am ashamed to even put this company on my resume... I honestly can't think of anything to put as a pro other than the two things I put. Horrible hours, horrible pay, horrible experience. Period. This is not the place you want to work at unless you are at Store Manager or higher.

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 - Facilities are outdated, broken, and cannot support the volume.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