| What was I thinking! Ughhh! made it 13 days as a DG manager.Went to area manager with concerns. I was told a joke about a whinning person instead of solutions.This place is a joke! I have never seen a store/biz run in this manner with my 27 years of retail. This is a sweat shop! What happen to training a person? I was givin keys to 2 store with a piece of paper with alarm codes and how to do pickups,Returns,and voids and left to learn on my own.. When i interviewed they didn care about my background all he keep saying was can you unload a truck? and get the merchandise out in 48 hours? Umm hello !I now know why the turnover. | |

Welcome aboard DGSUPERCASHIER 
DG does have manager training school however it does NOT properly train managers for the real world of retail

Hey thankies for the welcome.
I was suppose to start the DG school this week but they put it off till april. After what i went through that school would of been a piece of cake.. Maybe i should of stuck it out for a free vacation.. Teehee. Anyway , I'm so over it! Not mentally though.I still have nightmares of all that over stock(flex) falling on my head in the stock room.I don't believe i will even shop in one of those places. Oh n btw when hired i was told i would get $550.00 a week for 50 hours. HA!!! I got $500.00 and it was for like 65/70 hours. Maybe after that law suite things might change for those that stick it out..But trust me i have seen this kind of lawsuite before. there are many many loop holes and it takes years. Stick to your guns ppls.. Last edited by DGSUPERCASHIER on Sat Mar 06, 2004 10:32 am; edited 1 time in total |

The old bait and switch, by the way they do the same thing to the drivers. 
The drivers (we never have the same one twice) would tell us that they were told they get a couple days off and when they pull into the warehouse they are told that they have another load  well we are told by the drivers that "this is my last load, I quit after this"

I can relate.. They had me open 1 store then go to another store to close, then was suppose to work in another to purge the backroom.Not for nothing the two stores i was in needed to be purged big time.
If i were that driver i would of drove off n left the load on the interstate.I see how those trucks are loaded (and im sure they are overloaded for DOT standards) What is that 1/4 inch plywood between the loads, which always falls then everything lands on top, Just how many drivers have been hurt by this.. Hmmm?? I think they should hold deliveries for a week or two let all the stores clean up n purge before another load arrives. They have plenty of merchandise they won't run out.. |
