Pros

This company gives you just about every tool possible to succeed. I have never seen a more patient and focused company in my life. They really give you an opportunity to grow and teach people how to grow. People I have been with this company for going on 7 years and 75% of the people that quit or get terminated would love to come back. You can jump on the Wal-Mart express and believe that they are 'creating jobs' but this company truly is doing thar. They are not shutting down stores, down sizing, and leaving 25-50% of their employees out of luck. Dollar General is changing the face of America and hopefully soon the globe because they improvise for human error already. I feel truly blessed, proud, and determined to work at this company. I came here a young African American man who dropped the competition for personal reasons and knew that I was sacrificing a pay cut. I realized quickly that that money I gave up was nothing compared to the experience and opportunity this company has to offer. I tell anyone that has a sense of pride, stuck behind fear, hope and possibility at this company, it is definitely possible. I worked from the bottom to my current position and to be honest I don't regret a single bit of it. Come experience a real company if you really really want your hard work to pay off.

Cons

None that cannot be outweighed by at least 5 pros

Pros

If you like being in a stuffy outdated office 5 days per week like it's the 1990s this place is for you. HR just killed the company culture.

Cons

Only 2 weeks of paternal leave and 2 months of maternal leave Only 2 weeks of PTO which is absolutely insane to me Senior Directors choose to not follow the return to office policy. This place is full of lifers who want to sit around, do nothing, and get a break during the day from their families. This is the prime example of a dying zombie company.
