Good people but...
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Brunswick, MD - July 16, 2020
Overall the people I worked with are ok but everything started to fall on my shoulders. I left the company after my wife got sick and I had to come in a little late. Instead of simply understanding this emergency was written up. That was just it for me.

Good work experince
Store Manager (Current Employee) - Silver Spring, MD - August 21, 2013
A work day for Family Dollar is a experince that I could carrie to any other job.
I have learned to deal with different type of customers from mean to the most nices people.
I am a new store manager as before I was a Asst Manager. The experince as a store manager is much more than I thought. Learn something new everyday.
The coworkers that I have are very hard workers.
The hardest part of my job is the work load is very stressful.
Pros
The pay and DM help
Cons
The long hours on my feet
