Pros of working at Dollar General

The customers are the best part of my job. I love getting to know each one and being able to help them.

Cons of working at Dollar General

The pay, they want salary level work for barely minimum wage. There is no incentive to work hard or even take a promotion. If I'm making almost $12 as a cashier, and I move up a level, they don't want to give you more money. I was offered not even $1 to take on 10 times the work and responsibilities. That is insulting. Especially considering I have plenty of experience in retail. Right after I was offered less than a dollar raise to be promoted from within, they hired someone else to fill the position that had zero knowledge of retail and had to be trained for everything and started them out at $15/hr. That's OVER $3 more an hour than they wanted to give me, whom had plenty of experience and already worked there. Needless to say, I'm currently looking for a new job that is going to value me and my time and at least have enough respect to give me a decent offer. Best part, I had to pretty much train the new hire to do the job that I turned down.

Dollar General Benefits

There really aren't any worth staying for. They do offer vision and dental insurance that you can pay for. Part time and full time employees are eligible. But vision and dental for part time people only covers preventative, so, really not worth it. If you dont come in knowing the mananger/s or being related to them, they don't want to pay you and they don't want to even give you hours. They give all the hours to managers and friends of the managers.

What do you like best about Dollar General's CEO and the leadership team?

I don't. The Dollar General CEO and all of the others at that head table need to get off their high horse and do under cover boss in their own stores and see what exactly it is like for cashiers and managers. They need to take time away from their families and lives to run a store and get paid barely anything and threatened with their job if they don't keep their mouth shut and dp as told.

How would you improve Dollar General's culture?

Higher ups need to come from the sale floor. Not a NY penthouse. Maybe then Dollar General would be able to live up to what it claims to be.

How did you prepare for the Dollar General interview?

I didn't. I scheduled one and was hired on the spot. All they wanted to hear was that I liked to stay busy. That translated to someone who they can walk all over they thought.

How does your compensation at Dollar General compare to the industry average?

It's way below average. 25 hours a week barely covers my gas to get back and forth.

What's the diversity at Dollar General like?

I think DolGen talks a good talk, but they definitely don't live up to it.

What brings you the most joy at Dollar General?

The customers. They are literally the only thing keeping me there at this point. We have primarily elderly customers in our area and the other employees and managers won't even be bothered to hekp them or they get attitude and treat them like crap.

Pros of working at Dollar General

The only reason I haven’t left that place is because of the team that I’m being in charge of. My 3-6 cashiers depend on me to keep their lines moving fast enough. I like knowing somebody depends on me enough to get them out of a situation.

Cons of working at Dollar General

You get interrupted breaks if your in any type of management, you only get a raise once a year and it’s only 25cents and then when the new year comes around you only get an extra 25 cents if your a management while the others make minimum wage. I’m a lead/manager cashiers manager basically. I make 13.75 an hour and I have been with the company for 3 years. Corporate keeps making changes every couple days and nobody knows about anything until corporate shows up randomly for inspections. Freight stacked to the ceiling rolltainers everywhere. Boss take advantage everytime she can.

By which if you don't take you can be written up and or fired for. They treat the employees like crap. No one at all gets proper support/ training. They have unrealistic task and views on how thing should be done. When every person works different. It's called diversity which is one of the things the preach about.
