      TAKE THIS JOB AS A LAST RESORT !!!!!

      Pros

      There aren't any good reasons to work there except the glorified title of manager

      Cons

      I worked open to close for almost 9 months, 7 days a week. Over 98 hours a week. The district manager could care less. All she would say is push that freight and recover the store. They don't offer the employees a discount. They want you to run a store with only 1 employee in the store because they are always cutting hours. I did get a raise after a year, it was only $8 a week. The payroll hours they give you to run the store is about 150 hours a week. No bonuses !! They say you can get bonuses, but they are not reachable.

      DG has a great environment, but can kill your career.

      Pros

      DG has a good environment, is family oriented, and has an on-site gym. It's located in an excellent place to live and also offers good benefits. The 5% 401k match is great, but you have to wait too long to get it (1 year). A 180 day policy would be better. Relocation is good, even if Prudential is a pain to work with.

      Cons

      Senior management and HR are clueless about middle management incompetence. Caveat emptor. Just because the hiring manager talks a good game doesn't mean that's what you'll experience. In many positions there is no exposure to other groups, and hence no opportunity to advance.

      Pros

      I love working with and around people. I like working at a fast pace and you have to there. I needed a job. Dollar General always has something for everyone they have a great Literacy program. Dollar General has very good prices and customers enjoy comeing in to buy things. We have a 76 yeard old lady working for us and it is because Dollar General employees them and you should see her work the customers. On the days she is off over half of our customers want to know about her. I am glad she is with us. Thanks
