Pros

Trying to develop teams to grow. Giving people a chance to shine in their roles. A lot of these folks live in poverty so development can assist life changes to better themselves to move onto another employer.

Cons

To much work for the store level staff to please upper management.The Store Manager gets all the wage an still is below what other companies pay. The other staff get crumbs and are not motivated in a lot of cases to grow because it is not really possible.

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.
