Dollar General reviews

- The pay for the amount of work they expect you to do - Stores are given 120 hrs a week to split between 8 people and the wonder why stock isn’t being pushed - Multiple times throughout the week, employees are forced to work ALONE for a solid 5-6 hrs. If you can’t get stock out, check out customers, and manager an entire store AT THE SAME TIME, you will get talked about and that your “a lazy worker” - The cameras NEVER work and they refuse to add any on the outside of the store (which is why we get robbed so much) - It’s so unsafe, I’ve had many dangerous and unsettling experiences at my workplace and I was told “it happens everywhere, your fine” by management - NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU, it don’t matter how many years you been there, how hardworking you may be, the company does not care about you not one bit. Your literally just another clog in the money machine making sure they’re well fed while your overworked, overlooked, and miserable. - If you’re a manager? Forget ab it, your gonna basically LIVE at the store with no extra bonuses, acknowledgement, or anything, you’ll literally be a worker they can make do everything and then threaten you with losing your job if you don’t do it.. sounds fun right?

The pay is abysmal (at my location you get paid $10.50 /hr as a sales associate, which isn't great, but other locations have it WAY worse.) You will be with 1 other person (provided you're a sales associate) aka the keyholder. If you are a keyholder you will be alone if nobody can come in and help, and the hours are insane. I've not even worked for 3 months yet and I've seen 4 people get hired and quit. Our current staff is at ~5 workers including the Store Manager. You WILL get burnt out, especially if you're working 30-40 hours a week like I was. I've seen about half of my coworkers cry because of stress. When Fresh Truck gets here, it's like hell hath been unleashed onto our store for 3 hours as we try to man the front and get the perishables in. The machines like to go offline quite often and will need to be reset at LEAST 1x a week.
