Pros

The best reason to work at dollar general is that a job is better than no job.

Cons

Dollar general expects you to do the work of 19 people by yourself without appropriate compensation. They do not allow enough hours on the payroll to have proper staffing. The air conditioners are set at a temperature in the summer time that literally melts the chocolate and candles.

Pros

Aggressive environment with plenty to keep you busy. The company is evolving every day and provides an exciting workplace as there is always something new going on.

Cons

The upper management is more about who they like or don't like and their own personal vendettas than they are about who is doing a good job or providing a good environment in their stores. The company is much more interested in 'gotcha' than recognizing good performance.

Pros

If you don't have a life, this is a perfect job. There is a lot of physical work as well as the mental. Which I do actually like.

Cons

Not enough hours to get the job done, you have to work 6 days/week minimum, the pay does not match the effort that needs to be put into the job.
