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.

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.
