Pros

The customers and employees are awesome, the job was great,

Cons

The District Manager and those higher does NOT care about their employees whatsoever.. they will leave u high and dry with only 3 employees to delegate a weeks worth of work and your employees are limited the hours they can work so your basically there from 6 am to 10 pm EVERYDAY and sometimes longer.. No one to hire, substitute, bring from another store just absolutely exhausting trying to pull together a store that had back stock from 5 yrs before Me..

Worst company ever with overwhelming workload and low pay

Pros

None. This is the worst company I've ever worked for. The pay is not commeasurate with the amount of work that you were expected to do. Dollar General runs their stores on skeleton crews and each person is expected to do the work of 3 to four people.

Cons

Everything. From dealing with incredibly rude customers, to the pay, to the workload and everything in between. Again, this is the worst company that I have ever worked for and I've definitely had my fair share of jobs in my lifetime.
