The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Dollar General (Sunbury, OH) in Oct 2011
Interview
I put an application in at the store and at a later time was called by the hiring store manager asking if I could come by the store for an interview. I drove over and met the manager, he seemed very nice and was polite. Not pushy, rude, or anything unappealing. We walked through the store, talking as we went. He let me know what was going to be expected of me, and when I would report for my first day. Then he had me take an assessment test. It took about 30 minutes. Later he called me and said my test results were back and I had done well, and I could start as soon as their background check was completed,
