Opportunities to Advance
At Dollar General, we believe growth can be the most rewarding part of a job. Through a wide array of award-winning training and development programs — and pathways to advance from within — we offer opportunities for our teams to reach personal and professional goals. Our Store Manager Ladder Program is one example as it provides training to help educate and prepare store managers to advance into a district manager role.

Access to Education
Whether looking to get ahead at work, finish what they started, or be the first in their family to graduate, we seek to empower our teams to become life-long learners. That's why we developed initiatives to provide full-time employees with the chance to obtain a GED, earn a low- or no-cost college degree, paid CDL (commercial driver’s license) training and more. Learn more about how our education benefits are helping DG employees achieve their goals here.
Here When It Counts
When disaster strikes in the DG family, we're here to provide help and hope in difficult times. Through financial support from the Dollar General Employee Assistance Foundation, we work to provide our teams with what they need to overcome the unexpected.
