Pros
Dollar General exists for all the right reasons. They serve communities that desperately need a grocery/general merchandise option nearby. Price and assortment of items are good and expansion of freezer/cooler offerings was a great decision.
Cons
The leadership has lost sight of their mission (serving others). In their quest to grow store count and satisfy shareholders the decision makers have created a hostile work environment. The stores are understaffed by 6-10 associates and store support (Regional and District level) are stretched so thin that they are incapable of providing the needed resources and assistance to maintain grand open ready stores for the associates and customers. Constant budget cuts prevent basic facility needs (HVAC, plumbing, repairs etc..) from being completed unless pressed by a city or state inspection.
