Pros

* Average pay and benefits * Team work is encouraged * Bonus incentives for Store Managers and higher

Cons

* Ridiculous amount of hours. Most Store Managers work a minimum of 50 hours per week, unless they are one the managers that just don't care about their job or their company * Hard to have a family life when employed by this company * A never-ending task list each day/week/month/etc. You are constantly in a state of being behind

Pros

This company is one of the few that is actually growing in this economic environment. Plenty of new stores being added.

Cons

Store managers schedule is for 6 days a week, all year round, not just during peak seasons. Payroll for staffing is too thin, way too many hours that the manager has to work alone in order to make payroll. Necessary tasks can not be completed with the hours given, so the manager has to work even more hours (60 hours minimum, closer to 70 is possible).

pretty small store to stock. most of the customers that shop at dollar general are pretty friendly people... good product selection

Cons

the registers are old and dont work right half the time, some of the managers know less than the cashiers and get paid 10 times the money.
