Pros

Dollar General has great policies in place. They make it interesting to come in for each shift you are scheduled. You know 2 weeks work schedule in advance. Things change witht he seasons, so your always busy.

Cons

I think they put managers in position before they are really ready to take on such a powerful position. Computer based learning is a great tool they offer, but short staffing keeps good employees from having time it takes to do them...therefor, leaving door open for them to make mistakes, getting wrote-up or worse. DM would come in and talk straight to Mgr, never doing more than saying "Hello" to clerk on duty.

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.
