Pros

Dollar General is a top notch retailer with tons of upside potential - for its customers, shareholders, and employees. There is so much investment in people's career development. With the exceptional growth and financial stability - the future is bright! I have never worked for an organization that worked so hard to ensure its employees were well-trained, had great career opportunities and a fun environment in which to work. Awesome!

Cons

Retail can be a tough industry, regardless of the company. It requires people with a strong work ethic, great customer service skills, and a desire to succeed each and every day. Not everyone fits that mold.

Pros

The job itself is easy. The cash register, stocking (especially the totes and dry truck) and cleaning are so simple however there are certain things that make it difficult, although the work itself is not (under the right circumstances.)

Cons

They never have enough people on shift so it’s always difficult to get things done. It seems like all the managers I know from the store I worked at and the surrounding ones are all so deep into drama it made me wonder if I was back in high school. Dry truck always seems to bring far too much and the stores are so little that overstock is a huge issue here. The reason I ultimately left was due to severe mistreatment and some safety concerns I had regarding some past experiences. I am very glad I left and I would not ever go back.
