Pros

The Compensation is good for Field Management. The Talent of many in Field Management (peer group) is excellent. Serving the under served, our customers, is a privilege.

Cons

DG has got to improve their Distribution Network and Perpetual Inventory System. Tools, at store level, have improved, but are often buggy at best. Support, by the Executive Team is pathetic as they are clearly disconnected from reality and instead strive to WOW Wall Street and KKR with grandiose dreams of future sustainability.

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
