    Assistant store manager at Dollar General, March 2025

  • Best thing

    Easy to get hired

    Worst thing

    Too much I am expected to do and keep track of

    6.1

    Store associate at Dollar General, March 2025

  • Best thing

    How laid-back the standards can be sometimes.

    Worst thing

    They never schedule enough people to work nightshifts, having only two people in the store. They change my schedule frequently, and often call me in on my days off. They even randomly take my days off away for absolutely no reason. The only form of training they gave me when I first started was basic instructions on how to use the register. They often assign us too many tasks to complete in one night, and get mad when not everything is completed.

    1.2

    Key carrier at Dollar General, March 2025

  • Best thing

    My manager and my coworkers are the best team I've had the privilege of working with.

    Worst thing

    The company as a whole and anyone above my manager have made the experience almost unbearable. They blame us for things not getting done while underscheduling everyone. They refuse to add cameras in the store while talking down to us about high theft rates.

    5.5

    Key holder at Dollar General, March 2025

  • Best thing

    The particularly religious people who frequent the store often help those in need out when they don't have enough, which brings a bit of joy to the day.

    Worst thing

    There is not enough time between the store being closed and the shift ending to get everything done, even on days when there are three of us in the store, which is rare.

    1.2

    Cashier clerk at Dollar General, March 2025

  • Best thing

    My team and my customers are the only reason I’m still here

    Worst thing

    The amount of fright that comes in is ridiculous, every day we have a different task and new ones added on all the time, 3-4 trucks a week with 5 employees is very hard.

    It's close to home. It's not hard work but corporate makes things difficult. I like the people that I work with

    Worst thing

    That corporate has no idea what it's like in the stores. They really should ask each store what works and doesn't work in their store.
