Interviewed May 2012 in Fort Wayne, IN (took 2 days)
Be forewarned that family dollar does not have air condition facility. I was offered an interview by an email through their website. When I went through the interview I felt like they were stuck up and didn't really want to hear what I had to say. There was hardly any diversity.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Washington, DC (took a day)
Applied online and received a phone call from a store asking me if I could just work weekends and although I preffered to work more hours I said yes. The manager than told me that he was still reveiwing applications and just wanted to make sure that we were on the same page and hung up. A week later got a phone call from another store asking me to come in for an interview that afternoon. I came in asked one of the associates for the manager and she brought him to me. He than shook my hand and invited me into his office. He asked very few questions., in fact i asked most of the questions during the interview. THe manager than thanked me for my time and told me that I would have a second interview. Too bad i didnt read this site first. If i had i would have known that their Family Dollar does not do second interviews. I followed up three times and each time the manager told me he had not spoken to the manager who was supposed to do my secondin interview. However after the third I kinda figured he had no intention of hiring me. Which was fine. IM a hard worker, I love working in retail ( a rarity ) and intend to make a career out of it. So it was his loss not mine. Found a better job elsewhere making way more than minimum wage he was going to offer me.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 1 week)
Most of the interview and hiring process is done online initially. As long as you leave an email address you will be contacted when needed. I was contacted withing a couple of days of my online application. I had a phone interview where I was brought in for a 1:1 interview and hence a drug test was scheduled which is standard procedure for Family Dollar.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Yes I was able to negotiate and was initially declined but after being persistent about my salary that was dersirable I talked with the DM who informed the store manager to accept my offer. I would advise others to be persistent in their salary negotiations or continue to look elsewhere and be firm about it. Good workers are hard to come by and hiring store managers know this to be true.

Applied online. Received call back within a few days. They were so shorthanded they needed to hire immediately. Just the basic questions, nothing at all extra than basic questions.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 4+ weeks)
About 2 months after submitting my application online, I got a call from the Store Manager if I could go in for an interview and be there in less than an hour because the District Manager was there. The interview was very unprofessional. We stood in the back corner of the store for the whole "interview". They didn't really ask me any questions. They basically saw me and offered me the job on the spot. The whole "interview" consisted of the Store Manager complaining about her employees, she even pointed things out on the salesfloor that she wanted fixed. The District Manager talked about how great he was and all the accomplishments he supposedly has so far. They were both dressed so poorly and very unprofessional. The District Manager asked me about 3 or more times whether I wanted the job or not; should have been a big red flag. That was really the only question they had for me. They didn't ask about job experience, education, why I wanted the job, etc.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I did not accept the position right away, because I knew they wanted to hire me so desperately. I was able to negotiate until they could go the highest possible. Advice I would give to others considering the offer: don't work for Family Dollar, if you do, negotiate because you will be working 60+ hours a week.
