Pros
You can choose your own employees.
Cons
When the company is sending emails out to post good reviews on here, you know how horrible the company really is. Working for Dollar General is not worth it, they pay the lowest in the industry. The store Managers work 60-90 hours a week. Your starting pay is $30,000 more if you go into a higher volume store. Your health suffers, your family suffers, you have no life outside of work. You can never make plans, they never work out because you are on call, someone calls off, you are normally the one who works the shift. The expectations are way out of realistic goals. The turnover rate is so high, for management and associates. You cannot keep employees because the pay is so low and the work is too much for the employees. Corporate does not care if you are sick or are working a open to close back to back sometimes a 5 or 6 am to 10:30. If your assistant manager or lead quits or pull 3 or 4 open to closes a week. Now people are posting untrue posts on here that are all lies to get off the worst to work for list. Come on if it was a good company to work for, they would not be doing this. THIS NOT A GOOD COMPANY TO WORK FOR!! The work you to death, just look at the Store Manger when you walk into a store- they looked drained, stressed, like a truck just ran them over. Been there and would not wish it on my worst enemy! I am healthy again, I have a life again, I enjoy life and I am not angry anymore or stresses out.
