Pros

The job is predictable due to the weekly store mail that gives specific daily tasks to be completed, the pay is acceptable, the benefits aren't bad. Job security in this financial time is pretty good.

Cons

Long hours, constantly changing work hours allowed each week, no individuality (not always a bad thing either). Always feeling like "Big Brother" is watching my every move.

Pros

It is easy if you can just do what you're told without questioning and if you can not care about your employees

Cons

Long hours, constantly changing priorities, poor life/work balance especially for hourly employees. You do not get to merchandise, mange, or think outside of the box at all. You are asked to get tasks accomplished and provide great customer service, and whatever else with ever declining payroll and ancient systems that create double work. You do not get to develop personnel, and the DM actually runs your store. You can't do anything that costs or affects anything in your store without DM approval.

Pros

The Medical benefits are excellent. I have Dental , Medical and Perscription coverage. They also offer life insurance and 401k. I also like the fast paced atmosphere. Dollar General has done a lot to improve the standards of thier stores. I'm excited about where the company is going.

Cons

Corporate is unrealistic in its expectations sometimes. We have a lot to get accomplished in a short period of time.
