Pros

They pay is good, and you sometimes get to work with great employees.

Cons

They change your schedule almost 3 times a week without telling you. They will say whatever they want to get you to do what they want you to do. Communication in this company is a joke. They do not move people up. They would rather hire someone else who makes way more than you and then they expect you to train them. They try to write you up for everything, even if you didnt do it, If you are missing hours from your check it will take months to get them, if you even get them back. Hours are never about the same. Sometimes as a full time employee you will have about 35 the next week they will only give you 21. They assign you multiple tasks that take a while to do and expect you to do all of them, recover the store, and do the deposit.

Pros

Dollar General has great policies in place. They make it interesting to come in for each shift you are scheduled. You know 2 weeks work schedule in advance. Things change witht he seasons, so your always busy.

Cons

I think they put managers in position before they are really ready to take on such a powerful position. Computer based learning is a great tool they offer, but short staffing keeps good employees from having time it takes to do them...therefor, leaving door open for them to make mistakes, getting wrote-up or worse. DM would come in and talk straight to Mgr, never doing more than saying "Hello" to clerk on duty.
