Pros

Hiring process start with apply online and complete the assessment test, then, three days later got a call from SM for face-to-face interview which went well. She was very nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. Ask me questions about how to handle customer, what integrity means to you, what dependable means, and how to handle difficult customer. I answered the best I can. She gave me overview of the job responsibility of an Asst Store Manager, how important in minimizing shrink in the store, and maintaining store. Then, she called me again and offered me the job, then sent me the new hire packet/express hiring to do online. FIlled out all the necessary info and took a drug test that day(on a Tuesday), as well as they will check my background. A week later, also on a Tuesday, I got a call that I passed the drug test and background check, and told me to show up and fill out paperwork and started training that day. I was very, very happy that I got the job. I've been waiting for a week and they finally called me. Thanks to the wonderful Store Manager who kept me informed and I will working with her which I looked forward to.

Cons

The store is short-handed, and the store need a lot of work in being more presentable to customers.

Pros

I love working at Dollar General!! It's like working with a friend or in a tight knit family. I had a wonderful onboarding and training experience and really felt as though the team was invested in my growth and development. I was given more time to ramp up here than I've been given with any prior employer. I love working for such a stable company that has so many different career opportunities and paths for me to explore. With over 12 thousand stores, DCs and a huge support center, the opportunities are endless. I love my team and my job ~ thank you, Dollar General!! I'm grateful everyday to be a part of this organization.

Cons

I honestly have nothing to comment on here. How rare is that??? When I think about my experience with Dollar General, only positive thoughts come to mind. The company is growing at an unprecedented rate, the compensation package is very competitive and the culture is amazing. I love Dollar General!

Pros

Great support system, company has some of the best processes in retail. Great overall culture!!! Often there is always someone available to help when needed.

Cons

Some struggles in finding great associates to fill positions, it can be difficult to bring in experienced management, however there is great focus on expanding from within.
