Not many hours, unless your a superviser then they work you to death
lead associate (Current Employee), Bryant, AR – June 17, 2013
Pros: some money
Cons: not enough money
Dollar general is not the place for me. I dislike the amount of work they make you do for very little money. Upper management is out of touch with reality.

Alot of work with low pay
Cashier (Former Employee), Alabaster, AL – June 17, 2013
Pros: they will work around your work schedule
Cons: low pay
Dollar General is not the place to work if you are really trying to make money, The job is physically strenuous for low pay. I recommend this job to high school and college students only.

Workplace at Dollar General
Cashier/ Sales Associate (Former Employee), Philadelphia, PA – June 15, 2013
A typical day at Dollar General is crowded.
I learned to deal with angry customers and to pace myself.
Management was okay it could have been better
My Co Workers were very nice and energetic
I have no hard part about the job
The most enjoyable part was helping others

Generally okay job
Lead Sales Associate (Current Employee), Gladwin, MI – June 14, 2013
Pros: they work around school schedules
Cons: they couldn't care less about the individual employee
It's not a bad job to have but the company expects your life to completely revolve around and stop for this job.

Feels like the company does not care for its employees.
Assistant Store Manager (Current Employee), Chattanooga, TN – June 13, 2013
Pros: great benefits.
Cons: horrible work environments.
I like the job and I like my direct manager but the corporation allows the stores to degrade to the point of health hazards. There is black mold growing in our store that they refuse to do anything about and it has started to make our employees sick. Our shipments come in after sitting for days in the trucks in the hot summer heat because of delays – more... causing hundreds of dollars in damages every week and anything that doesn't get caught gets sold to the customers. All of this and we still aren't the most ignored store in our district. One of our stores has mold so badly the back bathroom had to be closed off from public use and the store manager has fallen through the floor and the corporation still has done nothing to fix these locations. – less

redrobin – June 17, 2013

This is the worst co I have every worked for. God forbid if your drawer is short. Our GM told myself and I that we couldn't come back to work until he viewed the tape, so I went 2 days without pay....I don't know about him but I have a family to support and bills to pay. I still am waiting on my pay from when I was a key holder, some are still waiting on orientation pay from when our new store opened. I love my-coworkers, but this CO I would never advise anyone to go to work for. Paid & benefits sucks.

Average workplace
Cashier/Sales Associate (Current Employee), Mobile, AL – June 13, 2013
Pros: nice customers
Cons: few hours
It was a fairly common workplace with a demanding time schedule. The hardest part of the job was keeping customers happy when they wanted to return items without receipts, having to tell them no. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to help people save money when we got the chance to.

Sales Associate (Former Employee), Saucier, MS – June 13, 2013
Pros: can sometimes be fun depending on co workers
Cons: low pay for the amount of work you'll do, no adjustment of scheduling for 2 job persons
