Vantaggi
The insurance was cheap. Many locations gave an opportunity for transferring. Usually home by 10pm. Showed me how easy it is to become a store manager if desired.
Svantaggi
Where to begin..... Very unorganized and outdated on their ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software. Very little ability in training employees to fully understand what is going on. Did not feel comfortable trusting management (even on a district level) with HIPAA associated concerns. Even with a doctor's note I was told to write up associates for attendance. There were several times that I heard (from managers of other stores) discuss reasons why an employee was terminated or quit, as well as one occasion where a manager told a potential future employer of one associate (which is confidential information). Managers were underpaid, as were some employees. We were constantly threatened with termination (management and associate levels). Didn't have a sense of trust that a team should have. Huge turnover rates. I have yet to find anyone on a store level to be happy with their job with DG, and with almost any other company you can find at least 1.
