I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dollar General
Interview
Interview scheduled 30 miles from home, lost 1/2 day of work-called 1 hour before interview to reschedule. 2nd round-lost another 1/2 day of work, drove 60 miles roundtrip. Went to interview for Assistant Manager, was told, "I don't know why they advertise that when we don't have any openings". Was offered cashier, then 3rd key position. Manager very nice. I didn't feel as though she had any control over the published open position and was as much a victim as I was. I thanked her-it wasn't her fault. I read reviews like this, knew this was a possibility but wanted to believe these were isolated incidents but I am now convinced that they recruit for "Management" to draw more qualified people, then offer them lower paying jobs with the promise of promotion. I would definitely verify that I was interviewing for the position that I had applied before I attended an interview. I lost 8 hours of pay, the costs of the commute to the interview and all respect for the company.

I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Dollar General (Greer, SC)
Interview
Very easy, not professional. Ask a few general questions and talk about responsibilities. Make sure you have your own vehicle to go to the bank. There are no excused call outs. Then walk you around the store.
Very laid back. Gave a lot of details on the job I was interviewing for. They did a good job of explaining the hours and what shift I would be on most of the time. Very accommodating on interview time slots available.
