Dollar General Culture

Dollar General maintains that there culture is designed for people entering the workforce for the first time, Dollar General stores provide an ideal foundation of basic work skills along with competitive wages and benefits. Experienced workers are drawn to the opportunity to grow with one of the fastest-growing retailers in America. Celebrating excellence is a hallmark of Dollar General's culture, whether you work in a store, a distribution center or at the store support center.  Since their founders only enjoyed a third grade education it was imperative for them to attack this problem.  They promise to serve their communities by promoting a spirit of involvement, and carry Dollar General's mission to serve deep into the communities they call home. Through their charitable outreach, they strive for a real and lasting impact on individuals and their families.
Literacy is the foundation for improving the quality of life for many Americans. Nationwide, more than 40 million adults can't read well enough to fill out a job application or read a book to their children. Dollar General today helps thousands of individuals take their first steps toward literacy, a general education diploma or English proficiency.  In summary it really seems that Dollar General Cares their value and mission statements and their actions seem to all support what they promote their culture to be.  Their culture appears to be strong and healthy and also adaptive.  They demonstrate this by continually opening stores in very rural areas and providing jobs and services where the competitor has not gone with local, loyal employees.  Everytime I am in their stores their sales people and management have always interacted cheerfully and been very helpful.
