      Pros

      Your salary will pay some, but not all of your bills. Some customers are great people.

      Cons

      Physically demanding work environment. Not enough payroll dollars to staff the store on a daily basis. You will work at least 60 hours each week. Most customers are unpleasant individuals. Theft is rampant, both from customers and employees. I've never experienced anything like it and I've worked in retail for more than 30 years. Caught 4 employees "grazing" damaged goods my first week.

      Pros

      Great company to work for, great opportunities for advancement. Excellent benefits. Public has come to know Dollar General as a friendly store, often knowing their customers by name. Creates a sort of a "family" atmosphere. Not something you will find at Wal-Mart or Kmart. I am proud to work for Dollar General, they are a simple company that started off small and are growing by leaps and bounds everyday, while the competitors are going bankrupt Dollar General is growing stronger everyday with new stores opening weekly across the country, creating new jobs for everyday people.

      Cons

      Lots of hours as a store manager, maybe not a good career choice for someone with a family
