Pros

I love working at Dollar General!! It's like working with a friend or in a tight knit family. I had a wonderful onboarding and training experience and really felt as though the team was invested in my growth and development. I was given more time to ramp up here than I've been given with any prior employer. I love working for such a stable company that has so many different career opportunities and paths for me to explore. With over 12 thousand stores, DCs and a huge support center, the opportunities are endless. I love my team and my job ~ thank you, Dollar General!! I'm grateful everyday to be a part of this organization.

Cons

I honestly have nothing to comment on here. How rare is that??? When I think about my experience with Dollar General, only positive thoughts come to mind. The company is growing at an unprecedented rate, the compensation package is very competitive and the culture is amazing. I love Dollar General!

Great support system, company has some of the best processes in retail. Great overall culture!!! Often there is always someone available to help when needed.

Some struggles in finding great associates to fill positions, it can be difficult to bring in experienced management, however there is great focus on expanding from within.

Pros

Great opportunity as a beginner job, especially if you have a friendly team. Hard work is recognized.

Cons

Few hours at one location (you need to branch out to other stores to get more hours). Upper management is demanding on store managers, making stressful work environments. The materials at your disposal are cheap and ineffective.
