Pros

About the only pro to working at Dollar General is a weekly paycheck.

Cons

Stores are understaffed and under paid meaning turnover his higher than industry standard. Upper management doesn't care. IT systems are decades behind. Seasonal buyers overload stores with product. No work life balance for anyone in the Store Manager role - expect to work 95 hour weeks, expect to go months without a day off, and expect to get yelled at for not doing more.

Good job for someone starting to get a job

Cons

Terrible oppurtunities for anyone actually trying to move forward. Boss literally had a stroke from this job and then was forgotten about.

Pros

There are no pros for working for this company. The store manager promotes Key holders within 2 wks of being hired. So theres no training and she rehires employee whom she has fired for theft. If your not kin too her in some way, you wont be there long. In the 7 mos ive been there we have around 10 or more employees come and go.

Cons

The pay is low and the hours that schedule you for isnt enough to live on. Thats why there is a revolving door. If your not kin to store manager you get no perks.
