I am fairly compensated for the work that I do and the education and experience I bring to the table.
Have no idea haven't seen it
It's fair and just I don't have any problems
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The lack of accountability for District and Store Managers who fail to provide assistance is a significant issue. In today’s society, where the starting salary is $11.50, it is challenging for individuals to be motivated to contribute to a company’s success. Consequently, the turnover rate is a
I was called straight worthless by my district manager and in front of the line full of customers because my assistant manager says I was too happy and my voice was loud she accused me of being on drugs in front of a line full customers
I feel undervalued because they don't pay for the hard work and dedication I've shown in my 2 years. Also providing a better/cheaper health care plan would go a long way
I wish i could contribute to a 401 k or something. Maybe there is and i just wasnt taught about it
I would be nice if we could at least get any jind if discounts or snything to show that we are appreciated for the work that we do
What are some of the best things about your team?

The team we have is good reliable and help each other with out dealing with our manager. She thinks of herself not the team!!!
Review from Customer Success Dept
We have become a little family. After 5 years and all the stores ive travelled to. I love all the people ive met and made lifelong friends
Our leaders empower us to be creative and solve problems. We collaborate frequently, so work does not feel isolated.
We get to work and get the job done
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Receiving a fair compensation for merely contemplating the possibility of having individuals in a positive disposition and willing to take on shifts. Engage in productive work, as it would be worthwhile in such circumstances.
Cleaning at night, recovery, and so respecting others.
Really honestly the co-workers are awesome it's just really the management team besides the store manager
Co workers are also from terrible neighborhoods just low quality agreesive dishonest individauls.
Stop choosing sides and let’s work together to get the job done, don’t bring up unnecessary drama to
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Regular customers coming in everyday
Our team works together. Team work is dream work wished the manager would not call people at home to stir up drama !!!
Review from Customer Success Dept
The most positive about the culture and environment at Family Dollar on Washington Road is that you get too meet all types of people from all types of life! I love it!
There's a sense of possibility. People look to what Family Dollar can become and are excited to do their part to help the company, and by extension each associate, succeed.
Now that the environment has changed its great
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Mostly positive. But some co workers are gang affiliated
Hire a full staff and scheduling a person to work alone
A new store manager at location 10152
They need to make workers feel safe.
Review from Operations Dept
Better manager someone who takes pride in there store
What did you like most about the interview process?
The interview process I had on Washington road , I really cant say because it has been one bad experience after another with me and this money handeling!
My interview was almost 8 years ago with a positive man and a keen for wanting a brand and standard allowing us store managers to manage our buildings to grow sales and standard
It was an informal interview process
She was friendly and nice
depends on the person who does the interview
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Find a better process might help
Make it more informative about the company
Introduction to other employees, summary of duties and responsibilities of the position being hired for
Conduct actual interviews. I was closing and opening after just 3 day on. NO TRAINING
I didn't even sit in the office. It was literally at the register
What makes you most happy at work?
My team and the customers
My customers, helping them and finding what they need
Review from Customer Success Dept
What makes me happy ast work is that I get too meet different people everyday with a different situation everyday! I really do need too get paid therapist salary, with the stories I heart and the things I see at Family Dollar on Washington Road is AMAZING! I love it!
The great team that I work with.
Either working alone or with a certain group of people
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Get rid of the negativity along with find people who want to work
Family Dollar sets extremely high expectations but doesn't provide enough time to get through all tasks. The blame is placed on disengaged, under paid csrs and ASMs for not putting in adequate performances. It is hard to motivate team members to go the extra mile under poor conditions and low pay.
If they receive good treatment, they speak good of Family Dollar. If they receive bad treatment or hear of gossip, slander, or misconduct to token colleages, they speak bad of the company.
If Terry is out the store it'll be a better place, people have to many complaints against him and he's using personal feelings against his co-workers and taking people's hours away
Stop with the drama with people
What do you like best about your company?
The customers and their kids
Payday, physical labor, the customers
i like that they present many opportunities to move up in the company
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
better communication between entry level through corp communication
Payroll budget
