I work seven days a week for 10 to 14 hrs a day! No joke! Just to try to keep my job. Employee pool is not good at all. So it falls on my shoulders and to keep a check coming in it’s what I have to do.

Dollar General has an unwritten rule for their employees to be on call. You can be called in at any time and on any day even if it was previously requested off.

They don't care about you, but you will have plenty of time for yourself as they do not give anyone over 15 hrs as week unless you are the store Manager

terrible. The people they hire are unreliable and it falls to the few of us who are to pick up the slack when someone decides they don't want to come to work

Over worked and under payed. I have no life outside of work. I spend so much of my week working that I have no time for activities I am passionate about.
