Pros
- Weekly Paychecks - Great people at store level - Company is growing, which means growth opportunities - Implementing new technology and process to help out store managers - Company is working on either remodeling or relocating all stores - Company has a new push to promote from within
Cons
- Managers only get one day off, they word play it by saying it's a five and a half day work week, so basically it's a six day work week, one day off. - Pay is not bad considering other small box retailers pay less then Dollar General Does, but could be better for a company that profits billions each year. - Major loss prevention issues company wide - Stores run on a skeleton crew, very minimum coverage allowed most days - Extremely high turn-over rate, rather it's a sales associate or a store manager - Medical/Dental insurance is not the best, but at least they do offer something - Workload at times is more then payroll allows for, meaning managers can work upwards of 70 hours per week just to get tasks completed on time. - Company is always changing process or procedures. At times it can be extremely difficult to keep up with what's current. - Company is coming out with a computer program that determines store managers pay, this takes it out of the hands of the district or regional manager, and puts it in the hands of people the candidate or current store manager will never meet and leaving it up to a computer system to determine salary. - No pay increase when you go from a Store Manager to a Store Training Manager
