Pros

Dollar General is a top notch retailer with tons of upside potential - for its customers, shareholders, and employees. There is so much investment in people's career development. With the exceptional growth and financial stability - the future is bright! I have never worked for an organization that worked so hard to ensure its employees were well-trained, had great career opportunities and a fun environment in which to work. Awesome!

Cons

Retail can be a tough industry, regardless of the company. It requires people with a strong work ethic, great customer service skills, and a desire to succeed each and every day. Not everyone fits that mold.

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.
