  Assistant manager at Dollar General, February 2026

• Best thing

  Flexibility and good co workers

  Worst thing

  For managers the work load is to much for the hours given to staff the store with hourly employees. The company is constantly adding to the expectations and changing how daily task need to be completed. As a manager we are taken for granted and I don’t feel the appreciation at all by the corporate people.

  It’s fast pace.
  There’s always something to do.
  Some of my customers are great.

  Worst thing

  Rude customers.
  Seasonal could be better. You get a whole section of things that only get brought on sale, some things don’t sell at all. Then you have to make room for something total different to go in a section that is still full.

• Best thing

  Much easier workload compared to a grocery store or retail. Smaller staff leaves larger availability for shifts. Store location is positioned well for breaks/lunch, along with foot traffic.

  Worst thing

  Store is pretty unorganized as stocking is a shared job. Floors get dirty especially in winter/rainy times. Not much room for upward growth within the company/store.

  The pay

  1.3

  Cashier at Dollar General, January 2026

• Best thing

  Job is not bad. Just gotta stock and run cashier.

  Worst thing

  Getting underpaid having to stock and Run cash register. Customers have to come first, but if I’m in the middle of stocking and on a ladder, I gotta drop what I’m doing to go help them . Night Shift you got a sweep the floor sweep the parking lot take the trash out to the dumpster and clean out all the bathrooms plus wipe them down all down . Then sometimes they say you don’t do nothing or you don’t do enough, but when or if our store manager gets a bonus, we don’t get none of that and we are supposed to be a team. Lead position is only a dollar more, which is not even worth the damn stress.
