Pros

The job is easy for the most part it's a good entry level job for anyone trying to get into retail.

Cons

There is no regular employee discount. I've been working there nearly a year and do not have any vacation time barely any sick time. It's also very mechanical, like don't expect your district manager to think about things like a human because at least mine only thinks about what the company wants.

Pros

None. This is the worst company I've ever worked for. The pay is not commeasurate with the amount of work that you were expected to do. Dollar General runs their stores on skeleton crews and each person is expected to do the work of 3 to four people.

Cons

Everything. From dealing with incredibly rude customers, to the pay, to the workload and everything in between. Again, this is the worst company that I have ever worked for and I've definitely had my fair share of jobs in my lifetime.
