Pros

The customer interaction, at least with the majority, is nice.

Cons

How can a company truly justify cramming half a million dollars worth of merchandise into a building less than 10,000 Sq. FT. In size and continue sending more and more every week without having issues with where to put all of it. Send what's needed for the store, not what the warehouse has an over abundance of. Update systems to control freight flow through POS and rate of sale. Work/life balance is completely non-existent working for DG. I currently operate my store with myself, an ASM, and 1 full-time LSA because we can't get applicants or they can't pass the background check for hiring especially in smaller communities. Trucks show up whenever they like so scheduling deliveries is a waste of time. You're expected to drop everything and get that truck taken care of regardless of what's happening in your building. We talk alot about shrink and safety concerns for our associates and customers but continue to overstock stores with merchandise that can't be properly displayed in the spaces provided.

Pros

There are no pros for working for this company. The store manager promotes Key holders within 2 wks of being hired. So theres no training and she rehires employee whom she has fired for theft. If your not kin too her in some way, you wont be there long. In the 7 mos ive been there we have around 10 or more employees come and go.

Cons

The pay is low and the hours that schedule you for isnt enough to live on. Thats why there is a revolving door. If your not kin to store manager you get no perks.
