I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Dollar General (Buffalo, NY) in Jan 2013
Interview
I've had interviews at three stores. I got two offers and no call back from the third. Met with the store manager first, and a district manager once. Typical corporate retail conversation. They focus quite a bit on shrink, so know about that. Know the business model. Read the corporate website.
Slow interview process, extremely unprofessional. Worked there for over two years, and it was horrible. All companies constantly cut hours, that part wasn't surprising. However, the way the DM would talk to us was completely unbelievable - I have never been degraded and talked down to in such a way in my entire life. And having a manager that would call me to work even while I was on vacation was completely insane.
