Pros

Company Provided Vehicle Positive sales growth = realistic bonus goals Some very hard working Store Managers

Cons

Communication systems are deplorable- ability to communicate with the stores is antiquated. The buck stops with the DM - all communication up and down 5.5 day work week - depends on your Regional Director, but most DM's are working 65-75 hours per week Infrastructure/Resources - half of the stores are are several decades old and absolutely filthy and broken down. Trying get things like heaters, electrical panels, front doors fixed is an absolute nightmare. It is embarrassing. The company's motto is "Serving Others" and it is complete bologna. Senior leadership is self serving and the only thing that matters is pleasing them and Wall Street. I have seen Divisional leadership spend $25k, $70k and $100k on preparing for 5 hour walks with investors or Executive Leadership, yet the company will park tickets to fix door locks, heaters, bathrooms. It's disgusting Compliance Culture -Horizontal priority line - everything is a 911 This company has no idea of how to run urban stores or protect their associates in those stores.

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.
