Pros

IF you have a good store manager, the team environment and store pride is excellent.

Cons

Dollar General as a corporation does not recognize outstanding accomplishment on limited resources. Managers are not trained to truly develop staff workforce skills and there is no support for that kind of community development. The corporation could provide a much more holistic approach to meeting the needs of low-income families by putting more focus on employee development.

Pros

There are no pros for working for this company. The store manager promotes Key holders within 2 wks of being hired. So theres no training and she rehires employee whom she has fired for theft. If your not kin too her in some way, you wont be there long. In the 7 mos ive been there we have around 10 or more employees come and go.

Cons

The pay is low and the hours that schedule you for isnt enough to live on. Thats why there is a revolving door. If your not kin to store manager you get no perks.
