Pros

The opportunities for advancement at Dollar General are limitless. I have never worked at a company like Dollar General where you can see a clear path to growth and the growth is not stagnant. My coworkers are supportive, driven, and we work well as a team. Despite the size of the company I feel the teams I work with have great communication. There is a clear focus on internal growth and the company has the statistics to back this mission. Each year the company has an internal career fair to further encourage this pattern. This allows for the company to grow and the employees to grow with it.

Cons

Depending on the person, some may feel the company is very fast paced. I enjoy the pace because I know the fast paced environment is associated with sales and growth opportunities.

Pros

If you are looking for a career in retail with a lot of opportunity for advancement, this is it. There are many tools you are given to succeed, as long as you follow them. Human Resources and upper management are strong and consistent.

Cons

Middle and lower management can have very unrealistic expectations. There are many people in middle management who do not do their job effectively, and take it out on their team or store managers. Training is not comprehensive, so many managers do things "their own way" which causes a lot of confusion, dissension and an inconsistency between stores and districts.
