| Store Manager |
Dollar General will not survive if the corporate culture does not
change. Corporate employees look down on the people in the
stores as a nuisance. Store employees see new practices and
procedures issued by corporate and give them the bird. Its almost
like being in the middle of a bunch of feuding 7th grade girls.
Everyone is giving everyone else the finger.
The hours that a store manager must work to keep a store
operating are unreasonable. I've had to work 60-90 hours per
week and miss entire weekends with my family by working open to
close Saturday and Sunday. There is a joke in our district that if
Dollar General wanted you to have a family, they would issue you
one as an employee benefit.
The opportunities for advancement appear to be slim. Every one of
the new District Managers in training I have met came in from other
retailers. Moving from the stores to a district, regional, or
divisional
role seems to be more difficult if you have experience from within
the company..
The dress code does not apply to all company employees. Anyone
above the store level is apparently exempt. District, Regional, and
Divisional leadership rarely wears the black and tan. If I have to
wear it, so should they.
