Not that great a company
Cashier (Former Employee) – Mesa, AZ – October 20, 2018
Doesn't pay well, manger was too strict and too hard on everyone. Only smokers received breaks: long breaks. As a Family Dollar employee, you do everything in the store. As a cashier, you are responsible for customer service, minding the register, loss prevention, unloading truck, stocking shelves, facing the store, packing back stock and custodial duties.
Cons
No breaks, barely had time to take a lunch
great work place, poor management
Cashier/Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Powell, WY – October 20, 2018
Manager gives out work schedule with a days notice, didn't let me go to doctor appointments for my kid, complained when I would use the restroom. Co-worker gets 10-20 minute smoke break but I can't be in the restroom more then 5 minutes because i'm a guy.
Nice customers
Asssistant Manager (Current Employee) – Mankato, MN – October 20, 2018
You are over worked and nothing is confidential. The manger leaves things all over the store. I work hard to keep the floors swept and countertop clean.
Pros

Cons
Everyone knows your business. Including customers.
Great Most Days but Unsafe
Assistant Store Manager (Current Employee) – Unknown Gulch, ID – October 20, 2018
As a SM or ASM you are left in the store for hours on end alone, sometimes without cameras. It leaves a very unsafe environment. Most people that work for the company are very wonderful people though.
Pros
Fast paced
Cons
Some stores have a unsafe work enviroment

Working at Family Dollar
Performance Manager (Former Employee) – Atlanta, GA – October 18, 2018
Getting notarized occasionally for a job well done. The fun was meeting new people, and helping them to succeed in the business.
Traveling and meeting my peers. There was not enough of payroll hours to run a store and be fully staffed. Hard to get good help for the stores due to locations. Always looking for great talent. A lot of hard work. Advancement is Great if you want it!
