Pros

There are an enormous amount of career growth opportunities at Dollar General. The company is growing quickly and needs good people to manage the growth. The company has a team-oriented culture that starts at the top and it is a fun place to work.

Cons

As a low-price retailer, the company is lean and the work load can be heavy at times. It has to be this way to support the business model. We have to keep our overhead load to keep our prices low.

Pros

The Staff and the Customer.....

Cons

I don't Think they should not be open for every Holiday at lease close early on the summer Holiday so that the staff can enjoy it with there family's like the Home Office Staff .

Pros

Hard work pays off, and is recognized and rewarded! Many "at the top" started in the stores and worked their way up. If you are ambitious and won't take no for an answer, this is the career choice for you. In retail, it's not where you start, it's where you finish. Where will your career take you? At Dollar General you control your career!

Cons

Same issues as other retailers in this economy
