      Pros

      The basic benefits were good, but the fringe benefits were better. During my tenure, I received stock options and a team share bonus in addition to my salary every year. The bonus were based on a percentage of your salary.

      Cons

      The distribution center I worked at engaged in a lot of clique activity. This was my greatest obstacle. However, it is my understanding that much of this activity has been dismantled by corporate office.

      Pros

      In this economy, Dollar General is doing very well and is growing. They are opening new stores and creating new jobs.

      Cons

      The company is extremely cheap. The leadership likes to say they are cost effective, not cheap. But they cut costs so much quality suffers. It is a work-a-holic culture. They work the employees into the ground and don't pay them very well. They are making so much profit but they keep cutting anywhere they can any many places they shouldn't. The leadership increased the amount the employees have to pay for benefits and patted themselves on the back for it so now KKR can make even more profits.
