Pros

Opportunity for advancement is there if you work. if you're in a good area the regulars customers are great. Good employee incentives ie: coupons, discounts.

Cons

They pay barely over minimum wage so finding good employees is hard. Cutting payroll towards the end of the quarter makes it nearly impossible to run a thriving store. Too much emphasis on the MAG and not on individual store needs.

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.
