Pros

The company is growing right now and there is opportunity for advancement. I started as a cashier less than one year ago and now i am assistant manager.

Cons

The pay scale needs to be adjusted. The company expects a lot from you for minimum wage and only being allowed 20-25 hours a week for a cashier. That is not enough money to live off of. If you are not a key holder you have to be part time and have open availability. Makes it hard to plan anything when you are working 3 or 4 hours 7 days a week with a constantly changing schedule.

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.
