Questions and Answers about Dollar General

Increase the labor budget to actually match task and sales.

I kept feeling more and MORE overwhelmed! Corporate gives you the bare minimum on payroll, so it is IMPOSSIBLE to complete ALL of the tasks they want done in a "timely" fashion. The freight just keeps coming and COMING, as do ALL of the other tasks!!! We had a BUSY store, so the customers just kept coming and COMING as well!!! It was just a VERY STRESSFUL JOB, and after doing it for a year, my blood pressure and nerves just couldn't handle it any more... THE STORES NEED MORE PAYROLL SO THEY CAN GET MORE HELP!!!

The customers. It's great to build a relationship with regulars.

Not very flexible, even though they say they are

They do not do drug test if anyone your able to use while working. The only thing they do is background checks. They don't even do random drug test.

Work here for 8 months by the time it comes to 8 months , go work for a company that actually treats you right. If you quit over text/phone call record yourself dropping off your 2 weeks.

It typically consisted of ONE person (me) trying to do the workload of THREE people. DG believes that their managers are robots and can be programmed to do an unreasonable amount of tasks in a short period of time without any help...

As a P/T Lead Sales, I was offered $10.00 an hour, in PA. I'm mostly doing it for the work experience and where it might get me 5 to 10 years down the road.

Low pay, no opportunity to move up & treating employees like they're a dime a dozen isn't moral, even though it's legal! You'll be lucky to get more than 15hr at most DG's! The rate in which the employees are going through the door is rediculous! It seems there's always too much of a work load put on a store without the hours needed to complete the work, all while people are constantly quitting BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST CORPORATIONS TO WORK FOR! Absolutely NO benefits unless you are a store manager, minus a one time use of 20% off with your employee number. Store managers are incentivised to keep hard working individuals and work them like dogs in as few hours as possible with bonuses everytime they don't give out their allotted hours. Not to mention the unfair and inhumane wages, wow! No wonder why the GDP is 14T, YOU ARE INHUMANE TO YOUR HARD WORKING MIDDLE CLASS!

DG pays weekly. You will get you deposit on the Money Network card roughly between 9pm and 11:59pm on Thursday, though your first check is held for a week and you are able to get paid as soon as Wednesday if you get direct deposit into your bank account. (I highly recommend you open a free checking account, Money Network is the worst prepaid/payroll card we ever had to deal with at DG).
