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.
