I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Dollar General (Orlando, FL) in May 2014
Interview
Face to face with current store manager, over the phone with DM. Very low-ball offer. Promised a lot of work for little reward. Initial interview was unprofessional, more of a chat than an interview.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Dollar General (Indianapolis, IN) in Apr 2012
Interview
This was a normal interview read from a long script of questions, interviewer half heartedly listened to my replies. I met with several people and one of the D M's kept telling me how hard the workload is and how it's not for everyone, he was not very positive about the position in anything that he said.
This took a very very long time to be hired. I interviewed with 3 people drove to several different locations, even after the drug and background check was completed it took over 2 months to be hired.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dollar General (Holt, MI) in Feb 2013
Interview
Very easy interview. I went in and they asked me a few questions about my goals for the company, told them what I wanted. They asked me about my background retail experience.
