Horrible place to work

Pros

About the only pro to working at Dollar General is a weekly paycheck.

Cons

Stores are understaffed and under paid meaning turnover his higher than industry standard. Upper management doesn't care. IT systems are decades behind. Seasonal buyers overload stores with product. No work life balance for anyone in the Store Manager role - expect to work 95 hour weeks, expect to go months without a day off, and expect to get yelled at for not doing more.

Your not unemployed and have an income

Cons

To much undo stress for other stores issues, to many hours for the pay.

Pros

Work isn't that hard compared to foodservice

Cons

Pay is affected by tablets. If tablets malfunction and can't scan paperwork after completing route, you won't get paid for it until next week.
