"Dollar General was a great beginning job just to make money on the side, although it is not at all what I want to do for my future and how I want to proceed with life. I believe it is a great retail job for anybody currently looking for one."

"I've worked for DG since January, 2017, been thru 3 managers, anyone with a key is dumped on hours-wise and work-wise, little training but disciplined if a mistake is made, never enough help, enough hours available, single people should work here because family life is not considered over work."

"Excellent company to work for because of the economy. They have hired into the professional ranks of the company to many uneducated or hourly people. This is not a way to help the company grow to the next level. They encourage education and growing within the company. They do take very good care of the employees."

Dollar General Employee

"If you're looking for a comfortable, easy IT gig with a decent salary and benefits, then Dollar General is worth considering. But if you care about things like modern technologies, efficient processes, and a well-organized IT environment, then steer clear of Dollar General. Their IT department is a chaotic, disorganized mess, with extremely outdated systems and processes."
