Pros

Pay and benefits were good.

Cons

Excessive turnover. Starting pay for hourly associates does not attrack quality talent. Executive team talks about a family environment and a job for life. The do not walk the talk. The tools needed to be successful are not provided. Maintenance is non existent. Morale is very hard to maintain at store manager position.

Pros

I make my own schedule. It’s the only reason I stay.

Cons

Corporate doesn’t care if the managers have families and want to be with. There is no work/home life balance. They only care about lining their own pockets. Late store hours during holiday season. 6 day must work week.. usually 7 because of the lack of payroll. LOW pay for hourly employees. No sick pay or time for managers(unless required by the state). Will not run the AC below 78 degrees, in Texas, in the middle of summer. This company only cares about their bottom line and not the people that are in the stores making it happen.

Dissatisfied and Disappointed

Pros

As a field leader, I am satisfied with my pay and benefits.

Cons

As a field leader who is empathetic and supports empowerment for my team, Dollar General has disappointing and unprofessional cons. Unethical practices with personnel management, inconsistencies with policy accountability or policies not uniformly enforced and training inconsistencies affecting development of future leaders. The company selects external candidates for most internal promote roles.
