Pros

Great company for career advancement. I have known people that have started with Dollar General as a cashier that are now district managers.

Cons

The work / life balance needs to be improved with more payroll in the stores. Store managers work a 6 day work week that needs to be reduced to 5.

Pros

I have worked for Dollar General for almost 12 years and have really enjoyed my time with them. They are fair and always value integrity.

Cons

I think we could look to pay the Dollar General Store managers more. I also think we should look at going to a five day work week for SM's.

Get to meet nice people.

Cons

Never enough coverage, which equals to higher shrink.
