Dollar General reviews

As a store manager there is zero work-life balance. Store managers are expected to work 6 days a week and often times do not get there one day off. If there is a call in you have to go in and cover it if you can't find anyone else. Store managers are expected to do a majority of the task because the company does not trust anyone else to do them. The store manager is the only one that can receive the truck, which is delivered once a week and usually has a window of delivery that spands 10 hours. Often times the truck does not come in on time, and is delivered outside of the window. Once the truck comes it usually takes 1.5 - 3.5 hours to unload depending on size. A lot of times store managers are stuck working just 14 to 16 hours on a truck day.

long hours, insuffient pay, terrible feedback from district supervisor. I started in July '08 as a store manager with no DG experience. By the time I was sent to formal training in mid september, I saw my district manager twice for a total of 90 minutes. I put in 50 and 55 hours weeks with no compensation. If and hourly employee worked that many hours, with their overtime, they would make more money than i did. Most mornings there is just one employee for 4-6 hours alone. Can't tell you how many times I nearly had bathroom accidents because you just can't get away from the register. I have never worked for a company who is more concerned for how a store looks for an executive coming for a visit than how it looks for the customer. Overall, terrible place to work.
