Pros

There are an enormous amount of career growth opportunities at Dollar General. The company is growing quickly and needs good people to manage the growth. The company has a team-oriented culture that starts at the top and it is a fun place to work.

Cons

As a low-price retailer, the company is lean and the work load can be heavy at times. It has to be this way to support the business model. We have to keep our overhead load to keep our prices low.

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
