Pros

DG is constantly growing. With over 11,000 stores as of November 2013, there are always new stores opening and numerous opportunities for internal promotion. Management at the store level is hit or miss, but district management is superb.

Cons

Corporate gives fewer scheduling hours, compared to other stores I've worked with, which leaves a much heavier burden on management. Unfortunately, this overworks store managers and causes a high rate of turnover.

Pros

The job itself is easy. The cash register, stocking (especially the totes and dry truck) and cleaning are so simple however there are certain things that make it difficult, although the work itself is not (under the right circumstances.)

Cons

They never have enough people on shift so it’s always difficult to get things done. It seems like all the managers I know from the store I worked at and the surrounding ones are all so deep into drama it made me wonder if I was back in high school. Dry truck always seems to bring far too much and the stores are so little that overstock is a huge issue here. The reason I ultimately left was due to severe mistreatment and some safety concerns I had regarding some past experiences. I am very glad I left and I would not ever go back.
