Dollar General Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Put to much work load on any employee, no support whatsoever, give small amount of hours and expect managers to work 24/7 never have a lunch break, get called and messages day and night. DM has messages sent via cell phone to manager ( manager pays their own bill) set up to fail always. Very dangerous place to work for"

"The Brunner Dollar General is a nice store, the layout is spacious, and all the customers are great; but the store manager, is terrible. She is two faced and does not treat the employees equal. She plays her favorites and shuns the ones she don't like. She is always shopping on the clock and expects you to do just about everything all while staying close to the register, which is impossible. This store could be a five star store but needs to get a new store manager."

"My main manager was amazing! I loved her so much. Unfortunately, one of the assistant managers was a grouchy, geriatric pain in the neck! Racist, rude and arrogant old grouch. She was so rude that I once went home crying. Other customers have complained about her rudeness. Not very many people believe me. That old woman has been racist to both Hispanic and African-American customers. The keyholder cannot shut up about politics. A man in military uniform showed at her register and she immediately starts discussing politics and he looks embarrassed. She was prejudiced against an LGBT employee. There is a reason why not very many POCs work at this location. They often times quit. I would freak out anytime a POC customer came because I worried that my racist ASM would say something to them. I have even seen her yell and be rude to Hispanic customers. She thinks I'm the lazy one. She goes on smoke break every five minutes and wants to call me lazy! You can either find her in the office or smoking. She was always jumping down my throat about something to the point of a customer calling her out on it. She is an evil person."

"Not a good company and I want to be furthering my career in software development."

"Great store to work at. the customers are very nice and the managers and supervisors are nice. also the only thing I don’t like was they couldn’t keep workers because the pay was low"

"I enjoy working at dollar general, my co-workers are great to work with, for the most part, my customers are great people. The pay could be better but it’s a little extra money."

"Dollar General was a great beginning job just to make money on the side, although it is not at all what I want to do for my future and how I want to proceed with life. I believe it is a great retail job for anybody currently looking for one."

"Absolute catastrophe! Store open with very few employees. Assistant Manager at breaking point. Manager sick. District Manager absolutely no help at all. Company only sees the bottom line. DO NOT care about employees. Work your butt off for pennies."

"Please, someone close down DG. Lincoln freed the slaves."

"Dollar General is a great company to work for"

"I’ve worked at Dollar General for about 3 years then left and came back as a Manager. things are very different now the company is pretty good as a whole but I’m looking for a better opportunity"

"It was an average experience. Little room to move unless your apart of the “cool group”. It really did remind me of High school."

"Not at all a good company to work for"

"I was employeed with Dollar General since June of 2018. I loved my job & especially loved all of my customers. My co-workers & I got along great. We managed to survive changing of managers 4 different times. The 2nd & 3rd managers promoted me & all together gave me 4 raises. Things were great. Then an incident occured & I had to report my 4th manager to the DM & Loss prevention. Nothing was done & I was retaliated against by that manager. The manager wrote me up 4 times in less than a week,threatened to demote or fire me, & wrote me up the 5th time about 2wks after the 4 write ups which resulted in my termination. The manager nit picked at me & intentionally got me fired"

"I have been through 4 district managers. This last one is from clothing retail and has no idea what the daily work load is at dollar general. The store I worked for was consistently 20-30% over sales plan. This continued for the 3 years I was mgr.This store has been #1 in the district of 20 stores and #2 in the region of 190 stores for over a year. The company doesn't back any employee. The DM and Rd continuously harass and intimidate you when they visit. You will never do good enough. I was upset with stress of under staffed and continued increase in business every time they came. There was never a question if they could help you with anything. The last time I blew up at the DM and gave the keys to him.I called after I left and calmed down but he wouldn't answer. The Employee Relations department took one phone interview with me and never interviewed any witnesses before denying my reinstatement. It is all about the comfort of the DM. This DM has fired or had quit, 13 managers in one year. Unfortunately the majority are females and managers that have been with DG many years. I would not recommend working with this company unless you start out as a district manager, regional director or a higher corporate position. Dollar General will never care about their employees at the store level. I read one of these reviews where they said we should have a state wide walk out! Lets make it nation wide. Get those DM's in the store working every day trying to keep up."
