      Pros

      The pay & benefits aren't bad for retail, staff becomes like family when/if you find the "right" people...hard workers who dont stand around doing nothing. Great customers that become regulars & you look forward to them coming in. They can turn a bad day into a good one quickly!

      Cons

      Too much to do & not enough time in a day! Extremely heavy workload even for the best staff. No work/life balance for SM's. You WILL be in your store 60-80 hrs/wk. You WILL work regular hrs on all holidays, the only day we close is Christmas.

      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.
