Pros

Serious ability to move up as long as you are willing to sacrifice family and personal life. Solid benefits, 401k, stock options, employee discounts!

Cons

No work life balance, RD is very negative, little to no positive words but to say every week, " I would put you guys up against any other region", awhile tearing us down for the previous 60 mins! No recognition for top performers! 6 Day work weeks 52 weeks a years unless you have PTO or miraculously are TOLD you can have Saturday off! Just went to recent meeting and discussion was that, we "need you to be in stores more, nights, weekends, early am"! No mention of liking your job, or balance! The boost of morale would make company more attractive and stop turn on SM and DM level which is one of industry highest!! How can you be a mid-30's parent with active kids and be told you HAVE to work every Saturday!!! How about family time!! The EVP's need to get with the DVP's and get on same page one division is working 5 days the other division 6 days! How does this make other DM's feel! I'll answer! Makes them feel unequal, overworked and under appreciated!! This was worst Summer of my entire working career worked 29 days in June, 28 days in July and it appears 29 days in August....please help the field!!

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.
