Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
everything though work experience is amazing
Everyone pulls together to get the job done
I like everyone I work with on the afternoon shift
They work together always willing to help
Boss is great and works with you and thats hard to find
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Making sure there are enough hours to schedule so that no one is working by themselves more than 3 hours, there should be manager or assistant manager in the store from open to close if customers need to talk to them , a lead / key carrier shouldn't have to deal with customer complaints, questions
Better scheduling and better training
Understand that no one wants to work 5 days a week getting 28 hours it's not worth the time
Accountability for not following certain procedures.
Positive reinforcement does not exist
What is the best part about your compensation package?
I work with people who have become close friends, but always left in the dark when it comes to operations.
I believe it is fair for the job that I am required to do.
401k is good with the match
Noting right now used to be better
The great benefits that they have
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
My wages actually covering my bills
Dollar General employes need more money and cheaper medical
My Senior Leadership failed to provide clear expectations of role and responsibilities.
Someone will explain what we get because right now being part-time you don't get nothing and even less part-time or take a lot of group from our customers that no one else has to.
I appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback. I am writing to express my concern about compensation as a key holder. My research indicates that my pay is significantly below average and I do as much work as a manager at my current store. It could have been a more positive environment as well.
What are some of the best things about your team?
I have some people who give me their all. I have others that were hired and who are only there for a pay check, DG is my baby and I've been putting my 110% in. It seems like I'm the only one who cares
We are on process with truck we dont have an empacted stock room
we get the job done and keep everything nice and tidy
Everyone is like family and we get the job done together
The afternoon people get thing done but the morning people need to work get there team moving
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Be more willing to help and work as a team
Stop giving management to people who don't work more than 3 hrs for a 6 hr shift
Listening and taking constructive criticism.

By reinventing that entire store concept.
Everything performance wise is going excellent, its just certain things that need to be addressed because it seems like everyone is getting forgotten about with pay raises because of the economy or just too busy to actually pay attention to there own employees
