I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dollar General (Watertown, NY) in Apr 2011
Interview
Very simple they call you and you come in to the store. You interviewed by the store manager. They use typical interview questions. As long as your not a convicted felon your almost promised a position. The area up here there were few applicants at once.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Dollar General (Marion, IN) in Feb 2015
Interview
It was somewhat haphazard. The first time I came in for an interview, I was told that the District Manager would be late. He then could not attend, and I had to reschedule. The second time, he was again late but at least this time I was permitted to wait until he arrived, almost an hour after my own timely arrival. The interview itself was a bit random, as their computer system was down and they couldn't access my application. Luckily, they knew that I was supposed to be there, so this was only a minor impediment. It contributed to a longer interview than I am accustomed to, as they required me to re-answer many questions I had answered on the application. This was not a problem, and I feel I actually got to know them better this way.
