Pros
One of the standout aspects of DG is the incredible staff. The team is highly skilled, collaborative, and committed to driving success despite challenges. Their dedication and camaraderie create a positive work environment and make tackling difficult projects more manageable. The talent and professionalism of the staff are among the company’s strongest assets.
Cons
TThe company has launched some important initiatives, such as CODA, career architecture, and new performance methods, but these have not been as impactful as anticipated. A broader issue is the lack of focus on the HR department itself, with more attention directed toward other areas. Additionally, there is limited emphasis on training and professional development, which is a critical area for improvement. Another challenge is the weak communication within the Global HR team, which hinders collaboration and efficiency. Assigning dedicated resources to employee development and improving internal communication within HR could ensure all staff have access to meaningful growth opportunities. A stronger emphasis on team support and practical HR strategies would significantly improve the overall work environment.
