Pros

It’s a job and you get paid.

Cons

Basically, everything. This company is a joke. The expectations on management are unattainable. The hours, the staffing is all bad. It’s a constant state of chasing your own tail and never being able to catch it.

Pros

You meet the community. Dollar General is sometimes the only place every one is comibg together so it is a great hub for community information. You get lots of virtual training, called CBLs. This would be great second job for someone who has a calm personality and doesnt mind being around sugar, alcohol and tobacco.

Cons

The schedule at my store was inconsistent and the scheduler did not pick up my avzilable hours. The store advertises that items are on sale which are not. You really have to have a solid relationship with your manager to keep hours.
