Pros
The only good reason to work for Dollar General is they are expanding during an economic crisis.
Cons
As a store manager there is zero work-life balance. Store managers are expected to work 6 days a week and often times do not get there one day off. If there is a call in you have to go in and cover it if you can't find anyone else. Store managers are expected to do a majority of the task because the company does not trust anyone else to do them. The store manager is the only one that can receive the truck, which is delivered once a week and usually has a window of delivery that spands 10 hours. Often times the truck does not come in on time, and is delivered outside of the window. Once the truck comes it usually takes 1.5 - 3.5 hours to unload depending on size. A lot of times store managers are stuck working just 14 to 16 hours on a truck day.
