      Pros

      Dollar General was a good company to work for when you have a set of upper management that actually care about you and your advancement within their company

      Cons

      it's a very intense job and store managers are required to pick up anything black that may come up in there store.

      Good for illegals and high school dropouts. Unrealistic expectations.

      Pros

      it pays...something. You get to wear black jeans.

      Cons

      Im convinced if they could get away with paying less than minimum wage they would. Management is totally disorganized. Employees are treated like criminals. 70% of shrink is caused by employees they say. While real customer theft is basically ignored. Schedule is not posted untill one day, sometimes only hours before your shift. If you work at breakneck speed, risking injurty, ignoring customers, and never taking breaks, then you will still not get done whats expected of you. Took a month to get my first pay check. Will complentent you one day for doing so well, then treaten to cut your hours the next day for not doing the impossible.

      Pros

      Dollar General pays Managers well. And in this economy, people with jobs should be thankful to have a job. There are many stores, so there is room for growth and promotion if you are willing to work hard and have good work ethic.

      Cons

      No job is perfect. It is what you make of it. Retail is hard work. If you are lazy, and ungrateful to have a job, then you will not be happy anywhere!
