Dollar General salaries

The pros for working at Dollar General are meeting interesting people and learning new things for the job.

The cons for working at Dollar General was the constant irrelevant drama between other coworkers and the unorganized and unprofessional management.

My favorite benefit from working at Dollar General was the short distance from home and the friends I made.

Çustomers, people I work with with

Everything including pay, hours, trying to get employees working one day a week, inconsiderate, part time Keyholder has no one to cover for them. Plus so much more

My customers.

Nothing

Everything

I didn't, I got hired without being interviewed. Which isn't the problem, the problem was not being told hold things operates there

Getting basic experience working a job that requires a lot of effort. This job made me better at multitasking a lot of things at once. Learning how to help out customers and problem-solving, at work.

People not showing up to work. The low pay. Working all holidays except for Christmas.

Vacation days

As a store manager, you make your own schedule. If you build a great team they become family

No work life balance

None

Very low

Ok I guess

The customers and building lasting relationships with them

Customer are amazing

Dollar general does not care about there people they should not be working by themselves in a store. I was robbed at gun point and they don’t care. They also need to close stores earlier than 10

Insurance

Well the fact that he step away and then stepped back up is not saying much, but they are completely confused

Think about the employees first they are the ones who maintain the stores. Give more hours and no one should ever be in there by there self

Good I wished they did more for all employees

Okay

My peers and customers are the light of my day

Grearf for life n job n money n friends

Family fare o want to work

Family fare were I want to work

Quick advancement opportunities, pay is good (much more than shown on this site).

DG doesn't give enough payroll hours to adequately staff stores in order to get all tasks, duties, etc. done. Apparentlly, its much easier for corporate to complete everything that has to be done onbpaper than it is to actually perform the tasks. Micromanagement is also an issue. Not only do the tasks have to be completed, but after they are done the task has to be completed in the system, and then pictures have to be taken and sent to upper management. Also, too many unnecessary conference calls.

The teledoc benefit is a very good benefit.

Don't really know the CEO. My district manager does a pretty good job considering all she has on her plate.

I woul;d not micromanage the stores/managers who do their job correctrly and efficiently on a consistent basis.

There was not much preparation involved in my interview experience.

I feel that my pay is very competitive as compared to other similar retail positions.

DG does a good job with diverse demographics

I get the most joy from my job when I get paid and go home. I don't work for the fun of it, but working for Dollar General is not so bad.

How close I live.

Lower pay than what's listed here on this site

I help people

I do not like corporate management. They are far too detached from stores and customers.

Hours. One person per hour opened is not enough

I dressed appropriately

My pay is extremely lower than industry average. And I'm told I can not get raise because I have reached top.

They are way too concerned with this, just raise pay and we can have better qualified candidates to choose from. Right now pay is so low. Hardly any applicants at all

Helping people.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
