Pros

great customers, great employees.There really isn't much good anyone can say about working for dollar general.Their is not many pros one can come up with easily.

Cons

Here the company goes again.Company is still ttop heavy, payroll budjets are way to thin. Another corporate visit couple of weeks ago. Unlimited hours for that store, completely unrealistic store being viewed from corporate, How is upper management going to help us solve these problems, if they keep seeing these stores. They need to walk in unannounced to some stores to see how things really are, not a staged store where everything has been made perfect for their visit. How are they suppose to help when they think things are like that in every store. I really hope that someone is using this site to learn more about their company. Lets nominate some one from corporate to be on "Undercover Boss"., maybe somethings would change for the better.

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.
