Pros

Benefits and stock program. People in stores work very hard with little appreciation and when they get a corporate visit are always nervous many times because they care so much.

Cons

Micro management and lack of people centric atmosphere Richmond VA locations are out of control and the DM turn over directly correlates but no one will acknowledge the real issue. The leaders.

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.
