Pros

About the only pro to working at Dollar General is a weekly paycheck.

Cons

Stores are understaffed and under paid meaning turnover his higher than industry standard. Upper management doesn't care. IT systems are decades behind. Seasonal buyers overload stores with product. No work life balance for anyone in the Store Manager role - expect to work 95 hour weeks, expect to go months without a day off, and expect to get yelled at for not doing more.

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.
