      Running a Dollar General store

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Aggressive environment with plenty to keep you busy. The company is evolving every day and provides an exciting workplace as there is always something new going on.

      Cons

      The upper management is more about who they like or don't like and their own personal vendettas than they are about who is doing a good job or providing a good environment in their stores. The company is much more interested in 'gotcha' than recognizing good performance.

      Dollar General - not if you want a life!

      Retail store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you don't have a life, this is a perfect job. There is a lot of physical work as well as the mental. Which I do actually like.

      Cons

      Not enough hours to get the job done, you have to work 6 days/week minimum, the pay does not match the effort that needs to be put into the job.

      Horriable Hours, Don't expect to have a personal life.

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      you get 401k from day one, after that not much.

      Cons

      they expect you to work 65-70 hrs a week, usually with one day off if that ever happens. most of the time you work 7 days a week, you have no time for family time. the payroll budget is so tight that you the manager are having to do all of the work just to stay a float. They offer no prais of doing a good job or have any way of showing thier employees that they care... There is no communication at all between upper management and the store management.
