Pros

I had worked with very nice and friendly co-workers. I had a outstanding boss, I knew where a lot of things were before I stocked them.

Cons

One bad thing that I did not like about dollar general was they did not work with me with the hours because I draw social security disability.

Pros

Most of the coworkers are easy to get along with and schedules are easily adjusted for things outside of work.

Cons

This is the part you want to read. If you like going to work every day to only have a write up in your face, then this is the place for you. The schedules are spread so thin that the management has no one to close with and as of late, no one to open with. Not to mention you are still held accountable for getting a work list done that includes 100% recovery within a 2 hour time frame. The POS systems suck, the safe at the front door is the most ridiculous thing if your office to count the money is at the back of the store, and the favorites/ attitude that you get from upper management is the worst. They can do no wrong. 3rd Key/ Lead Sales Full time? Expect 30 hours per week. I am ashamed to even put this company on my resume... I honestly can't think of anything to put as a pro other than the two things I put. Horrible hours, horrible pay, horrible experience. Period. This is not the place you want to work at unless you are at Store Manager or higher.
