Dollar General wants to fill 20,000 job openings and will be holding in-person and virtual hiring fairs this spring to find new employees, the company said Wednesday.
The Tennessee-based retailer said it has openings at local stores, regional distribution centers, at the corporate level and for truck drivers. At the store level, Dollar General said it needs store managers as well as full and part-time sales associates. For truck driving positions, applicants must already have a commercial driver's license to drive semi-trucks. A Dollar General spokesperson told CBS MoneyWatch that the company is not disclosing the starting wages for these positions. In a statement, the company said it offers "competitive wages and benefits."
