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.

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.
