Working at Dollar General in Ebensburg, PA: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Ebensburg, PA Area

"The company is full of empty promises and absolute lies. Aside from mostly inaccurate training videos, you receive no training for your job. When I started I was handed keys and practically sent to run the store with no knowledge of what I was doing. And yet when I did something wrong or didn't complete something the way they expected, it was MY fault even though I had no clue what was expected! The DM is rude and nasty and does whatever she wants whenever she wants. You are NEVER thanked for going above and beyond, but ALWAYS put down for anything and everything they can find to be upset with you for. I have been accused of doing something I absolutely did not do, and my manager knew I didn't do it and told the DM I didn't, yet I received a final write up (WITHOUT previous write ups) for what I was accused of. I have spoken with HR and they were appalled. Yet, it comes down to the regional manager's decision, and they don't care what is happening as long as sales are being made. I was a favorite among our customers and always received praise from them. Yet my DM acted like I'm the worst worker ever. You are expected to accomplish the work of 3 people while also being required to take a break, and written up if you don't take your break or if you don't get your tasks completed. "Why aren't you getting 6 rolltainers of freight done in your shift?" Well... because I was also running the register and ALONE in the store for my first 6 hours of my shift!!! Our store was falling apart around us. Our office space was tiny to say the least. We weren't given the proper tools or amount of hours necessary to complete everything required of us. My poor store manager would work over 60 hours a week and STILL get cussed and screamed at and told how they could get someone in there who was OLDER and MORE EXPERIENCED. The DM is extremely unprofessional and is oftentimes in the store wearing sweatpants and sweatshirts while yelling at employees for uniform issues."
