Pros

There aren't any good reasons to work there except the glorified title of manager

Cons

I worked open to close for almost 9 months, 7 days a week. Over 98 hours a week. The district manager could care less. All she would say is push that freight and recover the store. They don't offer the employees a discount. They want you to run a store with only 1 employee in the store because they are always cutting hours. I did get a raise after a year, it was only $8 a week. The payroll hours they give you to run the store is about 150 hours a week. No bonuses !! They say you can get bonuses, but they are not reachable.

Pros

None. This is the worst company I've ever worked for. The pay is not commeasurate with the amount of work that you were expected to do. Dollar General runs their stores on skeleton crews and each person is expected to do the work of 3 to four people.

Cons

Everything. From dealing with incredibly rude customers, to the pay, to the workload and everything in between. Again, this is the worst company that I have ever worked for and I've definitely had my fair share of jobs in my lifetime.
