DG Market Store

Running a market store is much different than a traditional dollar general.  Dollar  general operations are somewhat redundant, and much of the operations are over simplified and laborious, it’s still very manageable if you build a good management staff. Store manager salary and assistant manager salary is competitive. Market stores are busy, and have many facets traditional stores do not. Depending on the area of operation has a lot to do with store conditions and the labor provided. While there is not a lot of labor, there is enough to get everything done, if your organized and have well trained staff. The 401k is as good as any companies that I have been employed with, but vacation and paid off time is definitely lacking. As with any grocery store weeks are long, and demand is high physically, but it’s manageable. In 2019, with the current climate of the grocery industry there are no management jobs that aren’t involving long hours, stress, physical work and a lot of planning with salaries that are much lower than they were in the 90’s.

I worked here for a year and some change.  At first I loved it; My coworkers, manager, customers and just the job itself. It was easy cashiering and stocking products. Then as more people got hired, favoritism arised. Meaning things changed. Another team lead with the same job title as me tried to boss me around when I had been there longer and had the upper hand, the manager stood by it and let it happened. I eventually left .. once store managers changed my hours got cut. I was off the schedule for a week at a time sometimes and it was just inconsistent . Good starting job tho! Especially if youu just need supplemental income. I would recommend , just depends on who your manager is and what store location. Specifically, this store was the best, clean, stocked up store I’ve seen. 

The most unorganized company I’ve worked for. The operations are incredibly dysfunctional. Nothing works, equipment, systems, hardware,  especially on operational side. Deliveries never come as scheduled. Products are missing or damaged. It’s a complete nightmare. The most frustrating part is management is incompetent and very un knowledgeable. They do not tell the truth to executives. These people are unaware their stores are run down and a total mess.  I do not know how they are still in business. The level of low standards through out the company are mind numbing. Dealing with any part of the company on a daily basis is like eating ice cream too fast. It will make your head hurt. 

Every single day is stressful. I have learned that no matter how hard you work for this company they don’t care and it isn’t enough (corporate wise). Hardest part of the job is working so hard just to have corporate ruin all of it because they don’t know what they are doing or how to properly take care of their stores. All of this while getting paid the bare minimum. Most enjoyable part is that I luckily have a great manager to go through the struggles together. I would not recommend working for this selfish, greedy, cheap company. 

Dg is a bad company to work for they do not value your work at all . The pay is the lowest.always adding more work for you every week corporate pushes stuff on the stores" they don't know because they are not hands on " that's why all the managers are stressed. Dollar general keeps putting new stores up bad idea they can't even fill their position at the existing stores why keep opening new stores . I love working but dg is not for me they don't value and appreciate your work

The food is of poor quality, the service is poor and the management is very poor. The customers are allowed to yell at you and walk all over you. The meat is spoiled. The other food is expired. The pet food is expired. You just don't know what your going to get. You have to wait a long time for service. Staff is rude, manager is rude. Store is cluttered. It's beginning to look and be like the old store. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Not a good place to work. They do not care about their employees

Trying to do more than one job at once 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not good. Not friendly at all. All they care about is the profit line

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long tiering. Always trying to do more than one thing at a time

Though it's only been nearing half a year, my experience at DG has been poor, Whether it be lack of hours, working holidays, or Uncaring staff, you can take your pick of everything you'll dislike. The only enjoyable part is good customers and even then, you'll have to endure rude ones as well. I think it mostly boils down towards the actual Company itself not caring about us as employees which in exchange, makes for a poor work environment with miserable workers.

When I worked there I was getting paid the literal minimum wage 7.25 and only when I left for mcdonalds did they offer to up me to like 10 an hour not to mention hours were so terrible I could barely get 100 a week and the customers were so rude and ignorant they gave me nightmares toward the end of my stay I would not recommend working there till they up the pay to something far more reasonable and improve the hours

I worked at three Dollar General stores and found it to be an interesting experience. You're always busy and moving, which isn't a problem until you have customers expecting you to hang behind the register every second.

The main reason I kept leaving was because of the low pay. It's hard to survive on $10 an hour when everything is expensive. The weekly pay was top tier, though.
