Pros

The opportunities for advancement at Dollar General are limitless. I have never worked at a company like Dollar General where you can see a clear path to growth and the growth is not stagnant. My coworkers are supportive, driven, and we work well as a team. Despite the size of the company I feel the teams I work with have great communication. There is a clear focus on internal growth and the company has the statistics to back this mission. Each year the company has an internal career fair to further encourage this pattern. This allows for the company to grow and the employees to grow with it.

Cons

Depending on the person, some may feel the company is very fast paced. I enjoy the pace because I know the fast paced environment is associated with sales and growth opportunities.

Pros

The job itself is easy. The cash register, stocking (especially the totes and dry truck) and cleaning are so simple however there are certain things that make it difficult, although the work itself is not (under the right circumstances.)

Cons

They never have enough people on shift so it’s always difficult to get things done. It seems like all the managers I know from the store I worked at and the surrounding ones are all so deep into drama it made me wonder if I was back in high school. Dry truck always seems to bring far too much and the stores are so little that overstock is a huge issue here. The reason I ultimately left was due to severe mistreatment and some safety concerns I had regarding some past experiences. I am very glad I left and I would not ever go back.
