Pros

Well paid salaries. Lots of employee perks. Office and warehouse sales, holiday dinners both jn office and take home, summer picnics at amusement parks, Christmas parties for teams and company-wide. Yearly bonuses certain level.

Cons

Nepotism over talent. Overworks employees who aren't part of the click. Doesn't share workloads or give help when asked. Time off is hard to secure.

Pros

- The people I work with are amazing (not every DG is like that... in fact, few are.) - We are proud of our DG and we all work hard as a team to make sure our customers are happy and smiling. - I take pride in my customer service skills. I have people drive past 2-3 DGs just to come to mine, because they know my team and I will take care of them. - We have developed great relationships with the customers. I have even made some great friends. - You are never bored. There is always something to do. - The 401k has a decent match rate.

Cons

- There are not enough hours to get done with what DG Cooperate requires. - We work fast and hard, and we still cannot get done what they require - we just aren't allowed enough people and hours. - We all have great work ethic. We work very hard. We still cannot get it all done. We ask for more hours. We are usually denied. - Pay isn't good. It just isn't. - They say people are their priority, but they work their employees to the bone, and don't let them have help. - My boss probably evens out to making like $2/hour. Shes salary. She cares about her store. DG abuses the salary. What they ask her to do, she cannot physically get done, even if she divided herself into 3 people. I'd NEVER accept salary at DG. Never. - It is not a lazy problem or a scheduling problem. None of us are lazy. We are very hard workers. We push truck fast, keep customers happy. We were voted best store West of the Mississippi (we're in Oklahoma). We tell cooperate the negatives and what needs to change. They don't care and nothing ever changes.
