Pros

Your salary will pay some, but not all of your bills. Some customers are great people.

Cons

Physically demanding work environment. Not enough payroll dollars to staff the store on a daily basis. You will work at least 60 hours each week. Most customers are unpleasant individuals. Theft is rampant, both from customers and employees. I've never experienced anything like it and I've worked in retail for more than 30 years. Caught 4 employees "grazing" damaged goods my first week.

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.
