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

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
