Pros

The best reason to work at dollar general is that a job is better than no job.

Cons

Dollar general expects you to do the work of 19 people by yourself without appropriate compensation. They do not allow enough hours on the payroll to have proper staffing. The air conditioners are set at a temperature in the summer time that literally melts the chocolate and candles.

Pros

Customers are great (mostly lol), helping people (when I'm able), paid weekly, getting to know people in a new toen.

Cons

Not enough time or employees to get all the things done they expect of you - very depressing. You contantly feel like your not doing enough and are never told you are doing a good job.
