Pros

This company gives you just about every tool possible to succeed. I have never seen a more patient and focused company in my life. They really give you an opportunity to grow and teach people how to grow. People I have been with this company for going on 7 years and 75% of the people that quit or get terminated would love to come back. You can jump on the Wal-Mart express and believe that they are 'creating jobs' but this company truly is doing thar. They are not shutting down stores, down sizing, and leaving 25-50% of their employees out of luck. Dollar General is changing the face of America and hopefully soon the globe because they improvise for human error already. I feel truly blessed, proud, and determined to work at this company. I came here a young African American man who dropped the competition for personal reasons and knew that I was sacrificing a pay cut. I realized quickly that that money I gave up was nothing compared to the experience and opportunity this company has to offer. I tell anyone that has a sense of pride, stuck behind fear, hope and possibility at this company, it is definitely possible. I worked from the bottom to my current position and to be honest I don't regret a single bit of it. Come experience a real company if you really really want your hard work to pay off.

Cons

None that cannot be outweighed by at least 5 pros
