Family Dollar Stores Reviews

Pros

Friendly atmosphere, clean environment, stellar management, and the potential for career advancement. Full-time employees are offered insurance and benefits.

Cons

Wages are not great, no perks (discounts, meals, etc.), and no set schedule. These are Family Dollar's policies and procedures, which management must abide by, unfortunately.

Pros

Entire crew is very family oriented, store manager is like none other I've ever had in the best kinda way. We all work very well together.

Cons

The staff is very minimal, just enough to cover every shift. Wish more hours would be available to hire another cashier and stocker to work every shift also. Not enough time to run register and complete required tasks during schedule shifts.

Pros

·Pay rate for ASM is great for a discount retail store. · Routine workload ·Overtime available

Cons

There has been a management change since my time at this Family Dollar; thus, I cannot speak about any current cons of this location. (other than I hope that they are fully staffed at some point if not already)

Pros

Great working in small communities, you have a opportunity to contribute great customer service and products in a area that is convenient for your customers.

Cons

The position is of great responsibility and takes often more investment then the 50 hours of salary pay you receive. You may find yourself working 60 or more hours a week. There is a lot of pressure to make budget with limited resources and being in a rural area there is difficulty at times finding support when problems arise. Depending on area you may find difficulty in hiring especially with the pay rate you have to wok with, and the amount of work involved in not only your position but those under you as well.

Pros

The pay is enough to pay the pay the bills

Cons

Low pay for hourly workers Low pay for store managers Expectations of store employees is impossible with the payroll allotted to the store. Field leadership berates the store teams by telling them they just make excuses and are allowing their teams to be lazy.

Pros

Good pay and benefits for the job

Cons

Don't believe in holiday pay for most holidays

Pros

I was lucky enough to have a good manager, My manager was always on my side regarding disputes against customers, because the customer is not always right and also he helped me with working out a schedule that would help me be able to work while i'm in college instead of just firing me.

Cons

No AC in my store, always having to close, can't void or cancel transactions, always have to call for ASM for everything because they don't let cashiers do anything except scan items and tell people their total, seriously, imagine having a long line with 10 people and some old lady wants to take something off because they don't have enough money or something and you have to call an ASM who is all the way in the back of the store to come and take it off.

Pros

Bright, nice, warm at times but always homey.

Cons

Not enough time inside of the store to properly enjoy my stay.

Pros

The customers are awesome and I loved my coworkers. Really felt needed and appreciated. Boss was super cool I thought it was fun to work there I felt like I really made a difference

Cons

The pay sucks !! Lower than anywhere Everyone was an assistant manager

Pros

They wasn’t doing anything well

Cons

Control the store give more hrs
