Pros

great customers, great employees.There really isn't much good anyone can say about working for dollar general.Their is not many pros one can come up with easily.

Cons

Here the company goes again.Company is still ttop heavy, payroll budjets are way to thin. Another corporate visit couple of weeks ago. Unlimited hours for that store, completely unrealistic store being viewed from corporate, How is upper management going to help us solve these problems, if they keep seeing these stores. They need to walk in unannounced to some stores to see how things really are, not a staged store where everything has been made perfect for their visit. How are they suppose to help when they think things are like that in every store. I really hope that someone is using this site to learn more about their company. Lets nominate some one from corporate to be on "Undercover Boss"., maybe somethings would change for the better.

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.
