Pros

because hours are varied, there is no problem getting time off for appointments. I have been there too many years to go somewhere else, I have worked for DG for 15 years, and get 3wks paid vacation. goodbenefits, but you have to pay. they match up to 5% for 401K.

Cons

Low pay, very hard physical work, menial jobs for management. they require you to work alone in the store sometimes, and make you go to other stores to work.

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.
