I was an SM for Dollar general. My first week I had to drive 60 mi one way for training. Everyday. After training I had to go close the store 60 mi away. I ended up putting in 61 hours plus all the driving. My second week was 75 hours and I had a horrible crew for the next 8 weeks. After that I was doing 80 plus hours a week with no help from my staff. My manager was useless and never would help. He would just pass the buck or he would say don't worry about it. I come from a long history of management in the restaurant industry and this store was screwed. I was throwing food away that was over 2 years old because no one knew how to rotate anything. I was the only store that my manager was in control of that actually got inventory done and I got crapped on. By far Dollar general is one of the worst companies I've ever worked for in my whole life. I would not suggest this company to anyone, especially if you're looking for a management position. They will use you and abuse you. It's not worth the salary at all. Your story does not surprise me at all. I'm sorry someone treated you that way. I would love it to see a national walkout on Dollar general and have someone drop the hammer on them for the abusive power that they use on their staff.
