Very recently, I've tried to apply online for Dollar General via the express hiring method but unfortunately, I'm unable to get past the initial stages, this being the log on page. The requirements are your social security number, which is used as an log ID and the first four digits of your birth date ( ex; 0224 )for your pass word.
My social security is accepted but my birth date is not. Regardless of what is typed, it will always be flagged as invalid. I've tried different fixes from deleting my web browser's cookies / cache to entering another date, assuming the one I entered previously was wrong. None have worked.
Now, I went online to fill out this express hiring because during the holiday seasons I pulled a store walk-in asking for an application but was told they were currently out of them and should try online. At the time, I dismissed it and went on my business. Months later, I finally did as was suggested and obviously, it didn't go well. I went back to the store and again inquired if they had any actual paper applications but was told that they no longer do that, that it was all online.
Now that you've made it this far in my lengthy post ( I apologize ), I'm curious on what I can do. Should I sit tight and try the online application another date or should I try and speak to a manager personally? Could perhaps speaking to one individually but considered an application in itself given the odd circumstances? Again, sorry for the long post, just eager to find work.

Hi:
I'm thinking about applying for DG warehouse work in Ardmore, OK. Does DG typically allows you to work overtime in the warehouse?

Every business has it's own style. What is the office environment and culture like at Dollar General?
Are people dressed in business casual, jeans and t-shirts, or full-on suits? Do folks get together for Friday happy hours and friendly get-togethers?
What is a typical day in the life of an employee at Dollar General?

Any advice for someone trying to get in?

I heard the other day that one of the workers at a Dollar General in Florence, Alabama hurt her arm while working at one of the local Dollar General stores. She closed part of her arm in a register and ultimately ended up having to have her arm amputated!!! and then Dollar General fired her after she turned in a workers compensation claim! I can't believe it. Has anyone else heard of Dollar General firing anyone because they filed a comp claim against them?

I found a suspicious looking page with an address completely different than the www.dollargeneral.com one. The page has a login username and password but somehow it doesn't seem legit, is it?

If you are tired of being treated unfairly, (absolute unrealistic expectations, etc., etc.,) as a lowly hourly DG drone, you do have some power to fight back. You know that survey that prints out on the receipts at the beginning of the month? DG is all about customer service and doesn't give a crap about YOU, the employee. So, have other members of your family and friends call the number or go online and fill it out. Have them give LOW scores for the different categories, but don't go TOO overboard, so it will be believable. DM will moe than likely want some answers from SM. Eventually just might be SM's a$$. DG is in business for one reason only. To make MONEY. Go online to Whitepages, Yellowpages, Whateverpages, etc. Look up the listing for your store. Most of these sites allow you to leave a review of the business. LEAVE ONE. "Bad customer service, wouldn't take coupon, blah, blah, blah, etc." Make it believable. Once it" on the ol' Interwebs, IT WILL LIVE FOREVER. This only takes a minute of your time. Also, your review doesn't have to be for just your store. Put in different ZIP Codes in the search box. Use copy/paste on your original review. In no time, you can have dozens of these reviews, all across the country. If your bad review steers only one person away from shopping at DG, you have done your job. That will mean less coin in the DG coffers. Don't worry, you still get paid the same. You get paid by the hour. If you're throwin' freight and Mgmt. is expecting something important (ex. register tape), play the fun game of "Hide and Seek" with it. Just make sure you're not around any of the few cameras, and your good to go. When I've been treated like crap by the DG, doing some of this makes me feel better, knowing I can fight back. Feel free to post any other suggestions.

And I've worked for some pretty crummy places in the past, too.
I started working at DG in late July, and I'm already on my way out. Bad management abounds in this place. The manager complains about Corporate constantly, but is their little lap dog. She keeps telling me that the store has been through a lot of crap, but doesn't tell me what.
I think the problem is just her bad management skills combined with the ridiculous expectations from corporate. In the few weeks that I've worked there- 1 assistant manager and 6 or so employees have quit.
But that's not what I really want to vent about- I want to talk about my own personal experiences there. I saw a sign on their door saying that they were looking for experienced stockers and cashiers. Having worked for 6 months at Target before- I figured that I qualified. Now, what's important to note is that I do have another job at a school- a job that relates more to my college degree, and a job that pays $10.64 an hour. But they don't operate in the summer, so I was basically unemployed.
I handed in my application in June, and I KNOW I put on that application that I was still employed with the school. I didn't get a job offer right away. The manager told me that they had enough people, and that if they brought me on, I'd only be working 5 hours or less a week (so why was there a sign in the window asking for help?).
A few weeks went by, and the manager called me back and asked if I was still interested. I said I was, and she told me to visit her so that she could give me some papers. I did, and it was one of those conditional job offer things that you have to fill out on the internet. She told me to wait until after 5 to do it because she'd have to get the system set up for me to do it. I waited, and it didn't work. She was gone for the next few days, so I couldn't do it then, either. Eventually, she called me back and said that I could fill it out now.
(to be continued)
