Pros

The weekly pay, wellness benefits, 401k, stock options, honesty, integrity, brand awareness.

Cons

Fantastic challenges as an entry level associate to learn, work, and manage merchandise with the limited space, but better than Walmart strategically.

Pros

I've enjoyed a very exciting, fast paced and friendly work environment at DG. We work hard but we make a difference in the lives of those we serve --- Our Customers...Our Employees and the Communities in which we Serve. Not every day is great (no company is) but we do have great people that help you get through the tough times, great initiatives and an exciting future. I'm not for sure that you could ask for anything more.

Cons

Every job has parts that people like....so nothing I could add here. DG is not perfect but it is worth the effort.

Pros

Most of the store personnel are great hard working people and the managers are awesome. They try to make the best of a bad situation.

Cons

Where to start? The majority of district managers and regional managers don't actually visit their stores like they're supposed to much less help their people. There is a complete disconnect between corporate and what actually goes on in the field. Some of the lowest paid wages in the industry and corporate's view point is they should just be glad they have a job.
