Dollar General Employer Reviews

Lack of respect or empathy. Turnover is consistent. Full time promised but never given full time hours. No benefits to brag about. Some managers sit around and watch you sweat. No raises or advancements available. Messy stores. No break rooms to brag about. Lack of support from regional manager at that time.

I ran register and counted till. I stocked shelves and cleaned up. I didn't really learn much new there. Don't remember a whole lot about it.

most enjoyable part of this job was the yr i became assistant manager i was mad responsible for shrink loss which i controlled well.

Arrive at work 8am and clock in. I would pick up my cash drawer out of the office and count it. Then I would sign on to my register so that I am able to check out my customers. As customers entered my store I greeted them by welcoming them to dollar general. I assist them in helping them find merchandise on the sales floor and any questions they may – more...  have. When we have our slow periods I stock merchandise on the shelves. At the end of my shift I clean up my station, count my cash drawer, and balance out the subtotal of what was made for that day. Then make a deposit in the drop box. My manager had tought me how to manage money and take inventory. I thank him for taking the time to show me so that one day when its my chance to manage a store I know how. My co-workers were very helpful and caring. The hardest part about my job was leaving for school to start my first year of college. I enjoyed every moment and everyday working with a wonderful group of people, – less

I was a assistant manager for the company hired to be a store manager after the holidays. Those past never heard anything was told that i was beyond ready got a great review and a raise. But my store manager was threatened, and turned on me. This company tells you on your first shrink class that 70 percent of its employees are reason for shrink. Being – more...  in management i can tell you that they think everyone is stealling they are more concerned with employ theft than outside theft. If you do them favors you nummber one in thier back but the minute you need a favor they are by the books and dont care. I had to quit because they would not let me leave for a family emergency. That was urgent. So they made me choose job or son. But they had no problems letting me work open to close several times because people not showing up. IF you dont believe me think about your local dollar general How much do you see employee turn around Alot im sure.....think twice – less

Not a very good paying job. Will not give you enough hours to make a good paying job.

I had very good co-workers We seemed to work together very well.
each of us had a certain dept. to work on . Mangers were very fair in all the decisions they made. Really liked working there. but never knew how many hours you were going to get from one week to the next.

i enjoyed my coworkers and the daily customers that always brought us smiles.

I worked with people who took everyone in as family. I loved my job as a cashier and stocker.

You was always doing something. The customers was nice. Co-worker are great as well.

I was hired as an assistant manager, and within just a few months I became the Store Manager, It was my job to oversee all store operations,everything- I also represented the company at job fairs, certified/tested assistants, and participated in OSHA meeting and training. I really enjoyed this job, I like being a leader as well as training others!

I'm either on a cash register or stocking/blocking the store at night, making sure everything is in its right place and the store is clean for the next day. i've learned alot about how to read labels and UPC numbers and etc. My Co-workers complain the most about their job and the customers that come into the store to shop. This is why I am looking for – more...  a new job. There is not really a 'hard part' of my job everything is easy to me. The most enjoyable part of my job is meeting new people and making their experience the best . – less

It was a place where I learn all my management skills from, how to check invoices in the computer how to unload a truck, and most of all my customers.

A typical work day would be very busy. Being the only convenient store in the neighborhood meant big customer demand. I was a key holder at this location so I was always busy and on the move. This was my first place of employment, I learned a lot and gained great experience.

Being a manager for Dollar General or any type of retail store has the same basic concepts for managing a store and a staff. A typical day at work would consist of doing alot of paperwork, checking e-mails, confrence calls, store meetings, checking in venders and taking in weekly truck, hiring and firing staff members,following and updating plan-o-grams,stocking – more...  shelves, finding homes for over-stock items, resolving customer services issues, making safe drops and bank deposits. I've learned to be more assertive when it came to disiplinary actions with employees. But overall i loved the fact that im able to work with the general public and making my customers satisfied and made sure i had repeated lasting relationships with my customers. – less

I would go to work and work really hard. I have fun at work, when i do work. I am pleased with the customers and the customers are pleased about how I perform. The management is awesome. They help you out when you need it. There is no hard part in dollar general for anyone unless a person can not work because of some kind of illness. But overall it – more...  is worth the work. – less

I am introduced to new things daily on managing and maintaining a healthy clean enviroment.

Alot of manual labor, will put in more hours then they tell u. Home office is located several states away.Dealing with the public is always fun. You will meet lots of interesting peoples.

Typical day, long hours & lots of multi-tasking.

A good place to learn about satisfying customers.

Good management considering all the district managers had to deal with.

There was always a large amount of work to be done but not much of it that I'd call hard work.

As A Store Manager my days were gratifying
I learned that small Box staffing and Training needs a seperate payroll allowance.
co-workers are as committed,professional,and productive as you train them to be.
The Hardest part of a Store Manager Job is finding a Management team to be as dedicated as you are.
Most enjoyable part to me as a Store Manager – more...  was Customer Service to my Team and Customers – less
