The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Dollar General (Knoxville, TN) in Sep 2010
Interview
I came in to apply because a family member had previously worked there. The assumption was that I had the job, I just needed to actually apply before they could offer it to me. I was interviewed, given the address where I needed to take the drug test, and informed that they might consider me for assistant manager. It took a week for the drug test to come back.
