      Sales Associate Interview

      18 Nov 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Campobello, SC
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Dollar General (Campobello, SC) in Jun 2011

      Interview

      Attaining an interview was a swift process by telephone, but first I had to complete an application printed from online and bring it in. At the interview, we discussed my purposes in applying to work there (for me it was a summer job before I went off to college), how I deal with people, the number of hours I could expect to work (everyone is part-time except for managers), and the non-negotiable hourly rate of pay. I completed some online tests for training at another Dollar General location because the computer system was out of order. The manager said she would call me when I could work, and in fact called me a few days later asking me to come in later that afternoon. The short notice was difficult because they do not provide uniforms; you must purchase your own yellow/black shirt and black pants. Seeing that I had no plain yellow or black shirts, I had to settle on the only one I could find in that short time. I was then ridiculed for not wearing something with a collar. Otherwise, the first day of training was alright.

      Question 1

      The most difficult question for me was about the pay. This being my first real job, I expected them to tell me how much I would be paid to start out. Nevertheless, my request would not have mattered because they were going to pay me minimum wage as a part-time employee.

      Application

      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.

      Question 1

      The one thing they asked me was why I wanted the job.

      I interviewed at Dollar General

      Interview

      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.

      Application

      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.
