I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Dollar General in Jul 2018
Interview
Started with a pre-screen with the Regional HR. Asked the basic operational questions. Then connected me to the Regional Director, who had me do an initial sit down with the local DM. RD follows back up a week later and in about 90 minutes received a conditional job offer. Lots of STAR based questioning. Then to their Director of HR for a basic 60 minute phone interview mostly focused on STAR and relevant experience and culture examples. Finally the Divisional VP was supposed to contact via FaceTime. After her failing to meet this schedule twice, we finally met up what was supposed to be FaceTime, but in fact it was just a phone call. She was new to the position, and less than engaging in her role. She asked a lot of why questions but nothing behavioral. The passion from the Teams I met were great. The Regional Director was awesome, as was the HR partner. The local DM was equally as engaging. Unfortunately for them their Divisional VP doesn’t seem trustworthy for a career change.

Interview
3 separate interviews total 1 month to start role. 1st interview is to sell you on the job. 2nd interview is to tell you every reason not to take it. 3rd interview is to make sure you want to take the job. These people are dying for talent. They have and will continue to hire anyone as long as they have management experience. I was a former SM for a drug store and was able to secure the role.

Interview
Job interviews can be a stressful experience, but the situation can become even more frustrating when a company fails to be clear about its requirements for a position. Unfortunately, this was the case when I interviewed for a district manager position at Dollar General. After an executive within the company contacted me and encouraged me to apply, I submitted my application and was invited to interview with several members of the company. This included an HR representative, a regional director, an HR director, and a divisional vice president. Despite a positive interview experience, I was ultimately informed that I did not get the job because I did not meet one of their prerequisites - multiunit experience. This was not listed in the job description or brought up during any of the interviews. It was only after I was rejected that I found out this was a requirement. If Dollar General had been transparent about this requirement, it would have saved me valuable time and energy. Furthermore, the interview process was not respectful of my time. During the final interview, I was told to be at a store location at 8 AM, but the executive team did not arrive until an hour later. This lack of punctuality was frustrating and demonstrated a lack of respect for my time. In conclusion, while Dollar General may be a well-known company, their hiring practices can be frustrating and inefficient. It is essential to carefully review all requirements and prerequisites for a position before applying and to keep in mind that the interview process may not be respectful of your time.
