Best general purpose lens for a DSLR beginner?

Buying a nikon d5200 and it comes bundled with a 18-105mm lens is this a good general purpose lens? Need Something that covers a fair amount of range with AF-S, VR, ect. But i keep hearing things that say the 18-105mm lens is just not very good hence me asking the question. I have no lenses so im starting brand new with about 500$ or less to spend on a lens or lenses and was hoping for something that covers a good range so i don't have to switch lenses often.
