Dollar General reviews

Managers are required to work over 50 hours a week 6 days a week (most of the time 60 to 70) no over time, holiday pay or sick days given. If your sick they don't care. Get to work! Not enough labor hours to complete task and keep up model store standards or in most cases get to model store standards. Managers spend more time working the store than they do managing the store, leading a team or customer service. Managers get leadership training but have no time to practice it or no team to apply it to. Time lines on pogs and seasonal sets, astablished by corp. level people, are unrealistic, unattainable and in some cases ridiculous. Corp. office does not take into consideration each individual stores current situations and circumstances when assigning deadlines on task. District Managers have to many stores in their district to be able to give quality leadership which means they are just as over worked as the store managers. Let me stress the most important thing here again "NOT ENOUGH LABOR HOURS FOR STORES TO RUN EFFECIENTLY"

The pay scale needs to be adjusted. The company expects a lot from you for minimum wage and only being allowed 20-25 hours a week for a cashier. That is not enough money to live off of. If you are not a key holder you have to be part time and have open availability. Makes it hard to plan anything when you are working 3 or 4 hours 7 days a week with a constantly changing schedule.
