Only work here as a last resort!!!

Pros

Jobs are hard to find. We have fun at work, but can't make a living. Still thankful to have a job in this economy.

Cons

Work here only as a last resort, as having a job aids in finding another job. Not complaining, but the pay here is awful. I have made more on unemployment than I make here.

Pros

IF you have a good store manager, the team environment and store pride is excellent.

Cons

Dollar General as a corporation does not recognize outstanding accomplishment on limited resources. Managers are not trained to truly develop staff workforce skills and there is no support for that kind of community development. The corporation could provide a much more holistic approach to meeting the needs of low-income families by putting more focus on employee development.
