      Pros

      as a cashier/ stock thrower the work isn't really difficult If you get the right people working with you, as I mostly have, it can be fun and fulfilling

      Cons

      Not much monetary incentive to rise to higher position. Esp at keyholder/ assistant manager level, a lot of work required for the amount of money you're getting paid.

      Pros

      Some of the customers are the reason why I like my job. My team members, we have a good relationship. As for anything else, I have nothing else, that I like.

      Cons

      Unrealistic goals. Treated like slaves, DMS stressed out by corporate, profits going up, yet, the employees never see any of it. Bonuses,that is a joke, they make the goals unachievable. Store managers working 65 to 80 hours a week. No work and life balance, going home and feeling like a zombie. Never seeing our families because of the workload that is brought upon us by the Dollar General. Cannot keep help because the only pay minimum wage, being in our stores 4 to 5 hours by ourselves because of no payroll. Stores having mad dashes to get them cleaned up for corporate visits, pulling people out of other stores and having that store shorthanded beacuase they are giving people to clean up somebody elves. Meanwhile, they see a perfect store, not a real one. I could go on and on.
