Best Answer

It would be foolish to employ a known embezzler as an accountant, or a known paedophile as a school teacher. Employers therefore need to be able to verify that staff seeking employment are not embezzlers or paedophiles when they come to seek employment and this is why criminal background checks are required. If you have a criminal conviction in your past and it is relevant to the employment you are seeking, you would do better to make this known to your prospective employer at the time of seeking employment. At least this way you can argue that you are now reformed and rehabilitated. Alternatively seek employment in an area where criminal background checks would not be needed.

Does Dollar General do background checks on job applicants?

Dollar General requires background checks as a part of the application process which must be passed. The company is vague about what qualifies as passing this requirement. It does not specify that if someone has a criminal record that they are not employable, just that they should be honest in filling out their application and that they must pass the criminal background check. Unfortunately, it is not a yes or no answer to your question.
