I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dollar General (Hamilton, IN) in Apr 2013
Interview
I went in without any job experience (because I was a student) and I was hired and promoted quickly. The worst part of the application process was the assessment. It asks a lot of "what would you do if..." questions. Once that is out of the way, the process moves pretty quickly. I was in for an interview the day after they received my assessment and started work 2 days after my interview. I watched training videos the first couple days before getting 1:1 training. The manager that I interviewed with was awesome. Started the interview with "I hate interview questions, so just answer the best you can."
I interviewed at Dollar General (Roanoke Rapids, NC)
Interview
The interview process was laid back and I felt comfortable to ask the hiring manager questions. I was respected and understood everything the manager was saying. I went into the back and we sat down and she told me about my position. She made it very clear as to what I had to do. She let me ask my questions that I had written before.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The one thing they asked me was why I wanted the job.
I applied online through the website and the managed called me. I scheduled an interview over the phone. I was taken to the office where she asked me some questions (I don't remember them) and I handed her my resume. She basically hired me there, I think.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Dollar General (Gower, MO) in Aug 2025
Interview
They told me my responsibilities and I was hired. The only question I was asked is "Do you have any questions?" Most definitely the easiest interview of my life. I got hired for showing up.
