Dollar General reviews

long hours, insuffient pay, terrible feedback from district supervisor. I started in July '08 as a store manager with no DG experience. By the time I was sent to formal training in mid september, I saw my district manager twice for a total of 90 minutes. I put in 50 and 55 hours weeks with no compensation. If and hourly employee worked that many hours, with their overtime, they would make more money than i did. Most mornings there is just one employee for 4-6 hours alone. Can't tell you how many times I nearly had bathroom accidents because you just can't get away from the register. I have never worked for a company who is more concerned for how a store looks for an executive coming for a visit than how it looks for the customer. Overall, terrible place to work.

No family time. 6 days a week, very long hours. Payroll is extremely low. Alone in store for many hours cashiering, unable to complete work without support staff. Support staff is paid $7.35 to $8.00 an hour for asst managers. Managers are unable to pay more during hiring because we do not have the payroll to pay more. Call outs are covered by the manager. Be prepared to work many weeks with no days off. Work here only if you need to until the economy turns. You are used, used, used, and thrown away like a dirty rag when they are done with you. Very rare to be told you are doing a great job, always told how much more you could have done, while at the register, alone in store !
