Pros

Small box retail with customer service number 1. As the manager, you are the voice of Dollar General, helping customers save money and being a positive influence in the community. Tons of opportunity to advance. With over 9200 stores and thousands more planned, you cant deny we are doing something right!!

Cons

Its hard work if you dont have the right people in the right position. You can make it as hard as you want but you are the captain, as you go so does your store.

Pros

Minimal supervision, maximum personal ability to imprint on store. Standards set by manager can be enforced by manager and a determined, caring manager can make a major impact on store appearance and customer acceptance. Great place to play if you love retailing.

Cons

Major payroll restrictions. All features controlled by corporate. No ability to purchase for your location. All you get to do is sell what you get. Limits your ability to maximize your market.
