I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Dollar General in Feb 2009
Interview
Had a phone interview first and then a one on one interview with two separate mangers. The job hours and expectations were ridiculous for the pay range offered, but in this economy you take what you can get. A contingent job offer was made but I needed to pass a online assessment and according to the DM the last few candidates had failed this portion. I was not worried with a great work ethic and 15 years of experience I figured it was a no brainier... wrong. I am not sure what they are looking for but it is not a competent hard worker so be wary.
Other Store Manager Trainee Interview Reviews for Dollar General
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Dollar General (Grand Rapids, MI) in Apr 2022
Interview
I applied for a PT Cashier position. I was looking for a part time job to work with my current job, that I was working on third shift. Had a phone interview with one DM. They offered me a key holder position and asked if I would be interested in an ASM position.
Next day, texted the DM that I would like a store closer to my house. This was in a different district. Another day went by and had another phone interview with the DM and store manager for the new area. Offered a FT ASM position. On my 2nd day, asked if I would be interested in the Store Manager Trainee position.
I applied online. I interviewed at Dollar General (Tulsa, OK) in May 2020
Interview
Their HR department contacted me months after I applied, and by phone. I already had gotten another job but I interviewed anyways. The interview was really thorough and we walked through all of my relevant career experience and she asked me my opinion on some situation scenarios. It was just a dealbreaker when the pay was going to be under $40K/year. That and every time I go into a Dollar General it's a mess. Maybe if they paid their employees more and allowed more people to work their stores wouldn't be so pathetic.
