Pros

Great company to work for, great opportunities for advancement. Excellent benefits. Public has come to know Dollar General as a friendly store, often knowing their customers by name. Creates a sort of a "family" atmosphere. Not something you will find at Wal-Mart or Kmart. I am proud to work for Dollar General, they are a simple company that started off small and are growing by leaps and bounds everyday, while the competitors are going bankrupt Dollar General is growing stronger everyday with new stores opening weekly across the country, creating new jobs for everyday people.

Cons

Lots of hours as a store manager, maybe not a good career choice for someone with a family

Pros

There are no pros for working for this company. The store manager promotes Key holders within 2 wks of being hired. So theres no training and she rehires employee whom she has fired for theft. If your not kin too her in some way, you wont be there long. In the 7 mos ive been there we have around 10 or more employees come and go.

Cons

The pay is low and the hours that schedule you for isnt enough to live on. Thats why there is a revolving door. If your not kin to store manager you get no perks.
