      Dollar General - not if you want a life!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you don't have a life, this is a perfect job. There is a lot of physical work as well as the mental. Which I do actually like.

      Cons

      Not enough hours to get the job done, you have to work 6 days/week minimum, the pay does not match the effort that needs to be put into the job.

      Horriable Hours, Don't expect to have a personal life.

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      you get 401k from day one, after that not much.

      Cons

      they expect you to work 65-70 hrs a week, usually with one day off if that ever happens. most of the time you work 7 days a week, you have no time for family time. the payroll budget is so tight that you the manager are having to do all of the work just to stay a float. They offer no prais of doing a good job or have any way of showing thier employees that they care... There is no communication at all between upper management and the store management.

      Cons

      Complete job description not included in the initial interview.D.M. seem to make their own rules.Do not hire from within for qualified assoc. Serious overtime without days off even for Ass. Mgrs. No life with the family.Even expected to be on call as an asst. mgr. called on your days off. No scheduled breaktime for mgnt. personnel.Serious task to be done without enough hours for additional help.Task seem to not be completed on time for this reason.threatened with write-up and dismissal if task are not done. Hugh amount of pressure for things that can not be accomplished fo the specified time.
