Pros

You meet really nice people for the most part. Some customers come in Dollar General every single day. Sometimes you will make a bond with these people.

Cons

Pay, Same thing everyday, too much work for little pay. I worked here for seven months. It was okay, but you get paid the bare minimum. A typical day consists of checking out customers, stocking shelves, and cleaning..making sure store looks tidy. You work so hard every single day with barely a break if one at all and get paid the lowest of the low. Fast food workers get paid more.

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.
