Review from Sales Dept

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

Any higher level of management sees lower employment different and treats us as such.

Need better management and communication

just about everything and then some

I just want to communicate about my paycheck and I'll be satisfied I don't like when store owners ignore problems in the store

New management, new policies, better insurance, BETTER pay,...

The temp gm is causing animosity and tension at work and making racial slurs

The distract manager and her attuide and also the way she treats the people that work for her

Review from Customer Support Dept

Everything especially the ac unit

It can be improved by putting in new positions systems and hiring NOT BAG CHECKERS but actual ARMED SECURITY. Security is always coming over the intercom saying the time and they watching all activity but when the same people keep stealing out the store nothing is done.

More hours would be great

What's going wrong is the cleanliness of the store, employees are rude , have no respect for customers when an issue is let known. Not providing allowed time for breaks like they should. Parking lot filthy dust all over store products dirty sticky floors and horrible bathroom .

Review from Customer Support Dept

The upper management tries to play favorites so we are not rewarded for doing good at our jobs

I don't know at this time

Theft - Better surveillance equipment Poor equipment (registers, portal, HVAC)- replace instead of putting a bandaid on it.

Computers Pinpad AC Heating And Etc
