      Better than most not as good as a few

      Pros

      DG is a growing retailer - one of a very few. DG has shown itself to be in an evolution phase and will presumably continue to re-invent itself. The company has a solid set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). These spell success with a capital S if they are followed. No need to reinvent the wheel.

      Cons

      The growth pain is evident internally, but since the nature of retail is almost always in flux, the customer service side of the equation is not being supported as it should be. When budget reductions are required, the last place that these reductions should be looked for is in staffing. A lean staffing machine is not a good way to convince customers that the company CARES. Too many DMs and RDs do not want to face the reality that passing bad news up the chain is the only way for a company to continue grow. Keeping bad news away from the "biggies" is not a solid career move. It does come back to bite.

      Not getting it.

      Pros

      Paid every week. If you want to work part-time, this is a good job for you. 401k, insurance *discount* card (not real insurance), and minimum wage available

      Cons

      It seems there are not enough hours available to run the store. The Manager seems highly stressed out and the Assistant is very abusive to the other employees, which I gather is from the high stress level she endures. It is what it is, a job.
