This is exactly what happened to me!! I was hired as store manager. They gave me my store and when I saw what was going on with all the back stock from 3 trucks still in the stock room...immediately they basically said...well it's your problem now!! I have 3 kids at home and married and my district manager at the time basically was telling me I needed to be there like 12 to 13hrs a day for like 6 days a week. I got on other employees for not doing their part and it's still my fault for their actions cause I was the manager!! Hey, you can drag a horse to water but you can't make it drink!!! After I was rudely talked down to by my dm...I never went back to waste any second of my time on a company that doesn't appreciate my DEPENDABLE work.

Sue for overtime and backpay. FLSA states that to be qualified as exempt your job must be majority office work. They were sued multiple times in 2010 and lost every case. The company steals between 12k to 35K from every store manager every year. Check with an employment lawyer, even if you are no longer with the company you should still be able to sue for what they owe you. Our DM promotes SM based on how well he thinks they can work truck meaning he's intentionally setting them up to get taken advantage of and he is aware of it. I mention this to most store managers I meet. Depending on how long you've been with the company as a SM but you might remember SMs having to clock in and out for a time, this was in response to the lawsuits. After sufficient time had passed they left SMs clocked in and soon after required 48 hrs for all SMs, though not necessarily internally as I noticed when our SM was on leave we only received 40 extra hours, about a year later we started receiving 48.

ive been working at dollar general for over 3 years and the only part of my store that looks remotely similar is the back room. we almost never have rolltainers or uboats on the floors because well we stock them. we get our trucks on Friday and generally have our stock done by Sunday leaving to recovery for the rest of the week which makes our store very clean. and from my point of view he was hired on as a MANAGER. dont bitch about the condition they left the store in better it and hire the right staff and you'll enjoy your job

I love shopping at Dollar General, but have lately been reading about the problems within the company, regarding proper store staffing, especially. This is a very wealthy company, and they could afford to have more employees working at the same time, so shelves would not look picked over, and the store wouldn't be such a mess. I give all the props to the managers and employees who have to deal with this nonsense. With that said, I want to mention that the employees of "my" DG, where I usually shop, are sweet, friendly, and helpful. I adore them. I think the manager, Amanda, is really good at what she does, and makes the best of tricky situations. Thanks for posting this! Glad you got out, and I pray your new business is doing well! 💖

I worked as a sales associate for 3 years. Started out making $7.25/hr. Worked 12 hour shifts 5-6 days a week (we were only open for 14 hours a day). No free time. Any days I had off I usually got called in because of a no call no show. One time I was abandoned by everyone else so they could go get matching tattoos and I had to work the Saturday night rush myself. Always got sent to other stores that were short staffed or were being remodeled. The most miserable company to work for. I had to beg them to allow me to leave for a funeral for my grandma and agree to work 7 days in a row after I got back ( we were talking 3 days off max.) By the time I finally had enough and quit I was making...$7.75/hr. How that company has not been investigated for the way it treats it's employees is beyond me.

No wonder people say they are not trained at our store it’s because you are not. I am there one week and I think I’m leaving. The ladies are a great support system but you do more than what the job is, not worth 10/hr and either their machines are off or they have an associate manager with a key that closes stealing. I can’t stand by that.

Tell me about it. I got a brand new (Day 1) store. The merchandiser left it an absolute train wreck. It took me roughly 5 weeks to get that store to where it needed to be; even then I wasn't 100% satisfied with it. I have a plethora of ghetto clientele that just trash my store on a daily basis. They leave their trash everywhere and steal us blind. DG doesn't care about the security problems either. But all those empty shelves... I can certainly tell you that the people that work there are used to not doing anything. Create that change... or term the people whom aren't participating.

Then helped cover another district until they got a dm for that district. Had a few stores slip in conditions but not bad and the regional and division managers started going at me. So I told them I was not going to do anything but take care if my district and soon after was gone. Great pay great benefits but working 70 hours a week. Wasn't worth it.

No fault of the new SM that was doing her training and then on a vacation to get the rest of her belongs ~1200 miles away....Where is corporate in all this to assist in maintaining their stores??? I've noticed the company is looking for 23 ASM's within a 15mile radius...along with just about every other position in each store! I shop at DG weekly and have noticed carts & U-boats on just about every endcap regularly, some of which are overstock carts, not for new planograms or re-shops. For the fact that I've worked retail in the past...I get the struggle! I have wanted to help on occasions, especially when the item I'm looking for isn't on the shelf!!!

Amen to that one. Totally agree. Every person has to be on board in order for the store to succeed. The SM basically has to micromanage each person to make it happen. The DM has to be a bit involved, too. The stores are definitely hard to maintain. But, look at mine: I'm in about as bad of an area as they come. I still manage 250 outs or less and one RT of TONS on average during scan weeks. But it's a 70-hour involvement to keep it that way. Even with those so-called SWAT hours. About to move onto something worthwhile myself.

New reply, a year later. We have a new manager at our store, as our old manager was put into another store. It is now a nightmare! If the manager doesn't do their job the whole store will go to hell. Our backroom is so packed all the time that we can't get to our breakroom or the rear emergency exit except maybe one or two days a week. The manager does need to direct and micromanage stocking procedures. Saying "work freight" is not enough. I hate my job now.

Ok i work at dollar general as a sales associate, and im not trying to contradict because im not at manager level and i most likely live in a different state/town, but whenever we do recovering or stocking stuff from totes im never told that there is a time limit to where you have to get all the stocking done, especially if you are like me and are also at the register all day checking out customers, and with all that there shouldnt be at least a strict time limit because there is a lot and being in the stock room doesnt seem THAT bad.

Just putting some more information out there: Sometimes dollar general has a company called drive line come out and do resets on the shelves. This is often only for specific products, but if you have someone from driveline that doesn't care they will ruin your other spots and it will cause even more confusion. I once had someone from driveline destroy our entire laundry section and just left it in a bunch of carts because they didn't want to put the product back. If dollar general had driveline handle ALL resets and not just some, and really held them accountable, the shelf pricing wouldn't be nearly as bad. Next I will comment on the stocking issues. I never got to a level where I saw or dealt with the trucks that would come as far as records go, but there seems to be an absolutely massive amount of over stock at all times. If you work at one of the smaller buildings with less room in the back and on the sky shelves you are screwed. Even in the bigger buildings the backs are almost always full. The moment you start to get some headway, you are bombarded with more stock, and the cycle continues. Our staff just cannot keep up with all of the new seasonal items, NCI home that rarely gets reset, and it just makes workers feel like they're getting nowhere. On the topic of wages and responsibility, there is a huge gap between the positions. I've been offered to be a keyholder and even assistant manager many times and I have always refused. The added responsibility gets you a whole 30-40 extra cents. Not even a whole dollar more. It's ridiculous and I feel bad for every keyholder that gets pressured into the position. The managers make salary and by some accounts it's alright but still not fair for what the company and the district manager expect of them. District managers are even worse, they're trained to get the most effort out of people by yelling at them and making them scared. They will press the store managers into saying they'll write you up if even one thing on a giant list doesn't get done. This is the main reason why these stores have such a high turn over rate, people don't want to be disrespected and they quit. I've had multiple coworkers walk out only two months after dealing with the district manager. To customers, I am sorry that things such as our coupons and dot sales do not work at times, good stores will try and price override for you and make it right. But please don't blame the workers, we don't have anything to do with that side of it. For my coworkers, don't let the company tell you that it's your fault for the way the stores are. The constant staff changes make our managers have to retrain new people all the time and it's never enough time to avoid some mistakes. Stay strong.

our sales floor looks like that too lol it's awful.. that's why I was kind of iffy when I got hired there. it's been about 3 weeks now and i'm looking for a new job. I just took it bc i was desperate. There's freight everywhere in front merchandise in the aisles making it harder for customers to shop. & inventory is in like 8 days and they are no where near ready. hopefully i am out of there before then.

I have been given 2 stores like this. My first one as a new SM was a ridiculous mess that I cleaned up and ran for 3 years until I was asked to take a higher volume store close to my house which was good because it was blocks a way but not good because this store was basically a "backroom" in the receiving room and salesfloor. It took about 2 and a half months to straighten out and another month to fill the outs. When I'm done with this store I'm done with retail

Seen worse than that. I worked for them nearly five years (almost 3 as store manager). They fired me due to people can't buy the product so they steal it. Loss prevention did shrink audits every quarter. The last one I failed. Payroll was horrible so I worked almost 60 hours a week. With that said sales were up 8%, was under 300 outs and they fire me before I was able to collect the sales bonus for the previous quarter.

It's retail across the board. Empty shelves, and stock overflowing back room. What few employees there are, aren't trained, over worked. It started about 10 yrs ago at DG that I'm aware of. There used to be standards, now it's a cluster. DG is a great example of the decline of the entire country. Failing up, business is a shambles. Yet DG can sponsor drag cars, all types of racing cars. Paper fliers in your shopping bags. Yet customers come back.

Dang... it's just like my dollar tree, So I entered the storage room and the shelter halls, I can see lot of problems for the stockers having tough time to shifted and work hard immediately before opening or closing the store. Four weeks earlier, my manager told me that they lost three stockers to focus on filling items at the shelves, it feels like we have only four workers to get this tasks and done before closing store. As being store manager, stocker or cashier is very easy until it gets harder than you think of the future.

Ive been a SM for DG for 6 years and basically been a fixer with a stores that looked like this..BUT the end result makes it worth it...the problem with most SM is that they want to put the work into fixing the stores and retraining the employees. Most has an avg of 7 employees so you should never expect for the store to be ready...but some of the trashy stores you see is or was on the store managers.

Well seeing as you have about 100 outs over your core stocking gap. Which is a minimum of 300 outs I'd get to stocking. You can also damage out all your expired food, as well as pet food. Sell by dates apply to all products s with on on them. It wouldn't be that hard. Had 45 roll trainers before Christmas and then January hit and we are back down to 6.

After working at a dollar store called Just A Buck for 4 almost 4 years was terrible. Not my first job though but it wasn't the best. I had until the end of January of 2017 to leave that job and to find another and I was like nope not going to spend 3 more months of this. Despite the fact I was a hard worker my pay was low. Got in trouble for helping my own best friend in which both of us got in trouble for. Even my own best friend was getting paid more then I was and he was still new. Of course I'm not mad at him but at my own job. I know some people will say it's just a job well let's just say after my experience there never going to work at another dollar store job ever again. I'm happy with the job I have now.

It’s not just one store but every DG I go to is over packed and there is only like 2 workers trying to do everything-stock and register. This isn’t right! As a customer I can’t even walk through the damn store... and it’s not the workers fault. They need to hire more people ASAP bc it’s not fair to the employees or customers f* corporate managers don’t care!

Honestly I feel like if they don't want to hire regular full time staff they should at least hire some temp employees to come in and help put out as much product as possible until everything is caught up then once that's done they can go back to their usual staff. Makes more sense than only depending on 1-2 people to stock the entire store and also do everything else in addition.

It ain’t a joke, trucks upon trucks upon trucks and sometimes those trucks give you things you don’t need (because you’re overstocked on it). Example being we get a ton of white distilled vinegar, problem being that our home location is full and the sky shelves don’t look any less full. We also have a lot of it in the back because we just got too many, DG is crazy, also trying to have two people in the store doing the work of 4+ people is just unrealistic.

I was at a Dollar General almost two years ago and the cashier there was a guy who told me he was working to supplement his income since he was a musician (played the saxophone). It was a day where I found a can of disinfectant and some toilet paper. He then told me how the day before, they only had one can of disinfectant left and two customers had gotten into a brawl over it, culminating in him having to call the police. He was ready to quit because of how this store was, similar to this one in the video, and the clientele that come in that act like spoiled children. We have to make a living, but working at a place with this stuff happening is not worth it.

Before being fired over policy violations that i didnt even realize were things i could be immediately terminated for since i watched my coworkers and occasionally even the managers would do, depending on what it was some did it often and yet they pinpoint me and fire me, i think it was all cause i tried to ask for a raise. i thought since i was constantly told how well i was doing, and how i felt like everyone just pushed things they didnt wanna do onto me to deal with, i should be making more , i was always told how good i was at recovery etc, so i didnt see why i wouldnt be able to get a raise since my coworker same position got a raise by basically just asking and claiming they did to much and should be paid more. i think its all bullshit, dont ever work for that company. they have strict policys but only follow them when its convenient for them.
