Pros

Not many to mention. I was lucky enough to have a full staff with the ability to perform all assigned duties but with limited budget hours.

Cons

BEWARE! You are hired in as a manager but the corporate management and regional management manages the store from outside of the assigned store, you are virtually another associate that is micro-managed. You do something good and never get recognition for it and you are hammered with what is not right. Constant pressure of managers forces you to put in very long hours. 2 weeks training, they pay for overnight stay the rest is out of pocket expense until those expenses are reinbursed. 6 weeks later you find out they misplaced or lost your expense report and require you to fill out another and obtain new meal receipts for the expense report. I resigned after 2 months with Dollar General. I understand they have a very high turn-over with management positions because of all the cons and very few pros.

Pros

Dollar General is a great company with a bright future ahead. They provide excellent customer service, management training programs, and outstanding company benefits. It was truly a privilege to work for such a great company.

Cons

Difficult to move up into higher management positions. If your looking to stay with the company for 10+ years then your chances might increase.
