Lead Cashier/CSR (Current Employee) – Kansas City, MO – August 14, 2018
I enjoyed the customer service aspect of working for Family Dollar, However there was a lot of theft that we as employees could not control. There was not enough schedule workers to properly stock the store. Which made it hard on my boss.
Pros
time goes by fast
Cons
no break

Assistant manager- full time job (Former Employee) – Charlotte, NC – August 14, 2018
Great place to work can be stressful at times. Weekend and some holidays are required .Pay was minimum wage. Room for advancement. Maintaining the store is probly the biggest responsibility.. reasonable hours. You unload truck stalking the shelves organizing the end caps keeping up with Mark downs and keeping the shelves fronted.

Clerk/Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) – Moorestown, NJ – August 14, 2018
In my experience at Family Dollar people were basically used until they were no good anymore. They didn't have any regard for your life outside of the company. They also paid no more than minimum wage and had very little room for advancement. It isn't a place I would recommend anyone to work for any extended period of time.
Enjoyed working there
Store Manager (Former Employee) – Zanesville, OH – August 14, 2018
Upper management does not care about employees. Not enough payroll to run the stores. Salaries managers are expected to make up for lack of payroll. Cashiers and assistants do not make enough money for the amount of work they are expected to do. When you go to upper management about problems within the store they don’t listen or really care what’s going on.
Pros
Nice working with a small group of employees
Cons
Not enough payroll
Helpful co workers
Cashier/Stocker (Former Employee) – Henderson, NC – August 13, 2018
A typical work day at Familly dollar consisted of me stocking the store, running the cash register and picking things up throughout the day. The culture for the work place was good but the hardest part of the job was the manager wouldnt give me more hours.
Fun place

lackluster performance
Associate Category Manager (Former Employee) – Charlotte, NC – August 13, 2018
My last few years at Family Dollar was right after the Dollar Tree purchase. There was no clear direction or goal from management. They were focused on getting new people into the positions and not promoting from within.
Fun, Relaxed
CASHIER (Current Employee) – Tse Bonito, NM – August 12, 2018
Good place to work. Accommodating to Disability.
Convenient Location. Friendly co-workers. Steady flow of Customers.
Company needs to be more easily available to the employees. Hours need to be more consistent.

Store Manager (Current Employee) – West Palm Beach, FL – August 12, 2018
It's very hard to keep a store running smoothly w/o the proper hrs for the store. They say it's getting better but it's getting worse. If family Dollar would have More hrs for there team members store will be better with family Dollar you have to work a total of 52 hrs a week.
