Family Dollar
reviews and complaints

I was the store manager for store 7694 in rushville, ne. I was trying to get the discruit manager to come to my store and help me with my employees my crew, team memebers. I did everything he said and they still won't do there job or anything in that nature. They thought they can come to work and do nothing and still get paid. The discruit manager made me feel like it was my fault that they wasn't doing anything. Made me feel low and everything. I tried my hardest. I keep the store cleaned, well organized and he made me feel this way. Telling me that he don't think I am doing my job right and that we will talk to see if I able to keep my job and etc. I felt like everything he was doing was unethical, unproffessional, discrinminated. I currently quit. I loved working for the company but if he was still going to be the discruit manager then I would no longer continue my employment there. It's been almost two weeks and when I do go in the store there is trash all over, boxes all over the floor, it's very poor managerment now. All I can say I kept that store my top propory. It was always cleaned and now it looks like crap. It wouldn;'t surprise me if that place shutdown. I have a alot of people telling me they are not going back to the store because they way it looks. One even said the way it looks now makes dollar general look good. That is bad. I would just like to say that company losted a hard working, friendly etc person.

I work in the hair store next door to family dollar im always in there shopping I noticed that the crew had gotten smaller I asked where the cashiers had gone and the manager said I dont know probaly home collecting their welfare that statement there alone makes me not want to shop there any more, being that this is a prodominately black area, and shes working in it. Every one that don't work or leave a job dont get food stamps or welfare, some one needs to check her..

family dollar in gillette wy, sunday had the computers down, and the lines way back to the wall, I tried to call both manager, and asst no anwser people were getting mad leaving ther carts full of food, still no answer .then the phone rang and the person on the line talk about the computers down and i thought he hwas going to help me no that was not the case he scam me out of a large amout of money.did not know until i came to work on monday 3.30pm and was let go. if i was proper trained this would not have happen. people out ther watch out for who you work for. not a very friendly family dollar.

I am a store employee's family member and I am in and out of the store from time to time. The store manager is not ever there because she leaves her store and her employee's so she can run around town with her new boyfriend. My family member said they was fed up with her getting paid better than anyone in the store and she is never there to do any work and that leaves one person working the entire store for the day. I think someone should check into this situation because it isn't fair to the other employees and if the manager can't do her job she needs to be replaced but she says her DM loves her and will never do anything to her. I have heard people talking in our little town and even in the family dollar store the customers are talking about how she is doing. I have swore off shopping at that store at all until they replace management. Her having sex in the stock room with delivery men and running around with her new boyfriend when she is suppose to be working and her husband is going to end up killing someone in that store over all she is doing. I hope someone thinks enough of their customers to do an investigation at the least on this store manager.

I get hired my is 914992# every week i call in i get same answer no work but everyone else is working but me im havent we fairly i just called in wednesday and i was told she on tuesday for work but i get e record that show she never called me and i get 6 kids and i need too work.It been unfair from began, she hired her niece and i know it was her niece because i told my friend my bosses name and my friend told that her ex boyfriends.family and she also let people who were ineligible too there weeks after i wasnt getting work, i just called on today and i told callher and told her onmonday but i was told i takeing off and going too be woeking at all.

This retail company is horrible, they are overpriced, inexperienced and understaffed, the stores always look a mess, their cashiers are never at register because they always have to do other roles such as cleaning, stocking and playing security guards, irs always only one cashier, at times as a consumer I have had to go to the back and find her in the back office on the phone crying to her boyfriend, she is lazy, she flirts with the young customers, because she is young and unprofessional! She always has an attitude, the she talks to and treats her employees is just totally disrespectful, I'm at this store a lot and really thinking about not doing business with them, she needs leadership training, and to keep her boyfriend problems to herself, its always people not shopping just hanging out, they need a more older responsible people person in charge of that store, shes always crying, shes never pleasant because too busy crying over her relationship, this store needs help!

I was just in the Family Dollar Store at Brietenstrater Shopping Center in Dayton, Ohio. A young lady and her mother entered the store together. The young lady was carrying a small white dog. Half way through the store a female employee, who later said she was the manager stopped them and said "It is against the law to bring a dog into a store, you need to leave." The young lady with the dog said, "Oh I'm sorry I didn't know" and she turned to leave the store. The employee who claimed to be the manager followed her and was berating her the entire way to the front of the store. She was quite loud about it all. The young lady's mother then decided to just leave as well and she stopped and told the "manager" that it was not against the law to take a dog into a store but that it could be their store policy and that her daughter was trying to leave the store. This manager proceeded to yell at the woman, even cursing at her. The woman asked for the corporate number and she said "I'm not giving you the corporate number you can just get out, I'm just doing my job. The woman said she didnt agree with the way she went about it. The manager never stopped yelling and being rude and was in this woman's face. The woman finally had room to get past her and out the door.

I left the store as well and told these two people that I was sorry for the way they had been treated and that I would never again shop there. The whole thing was utterly ridiculous. I told them to look online for the corporate number and to make sure they complained.

Why was I told it is against company policy to hire relatives and a short time later the manager hired niece of her assistant manager knowingly and she still works there.

I am sure you are all aware of all of the class action law suits against family dollar with regard to making employees "managers" in title only. They work 70-90 hours a week with no OT however they are not doing managerial duties but mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms, freight, register, stock-this is LABOR and as such you should be paid OT for any hours over 40 . Apparently Family Dollar has purchased a judge in north carolina that now throws out all family dollar suits. To sue Family Dollar you have to file in NC this litigation needs to be moved out of NC in to a district that has not been corrupted by Family Dollar. Presently there are 1, 000 of plaintiffs and attorneys across the country facing this issue. Family Dollar needs to be put out of business. Just search the net under law suits against family dollar-warning-you'll be shocked-A question for family dollar-exactly how much did that judge cost...I have a little money saved perhaphs I could purchase a judge

While visting this Family Dollar as I entered the door a security recorded message came over the intercom stating that the store and all actions were being recorded. I have no problem with that, but when Jeff (He identifide himself in his rambling speech )) repeatley reminde the customers that he was watching them, that it was not a recording, he made it plain that he was in the store and the police would be called immediately . He went on with this sounding like a man that likes the sound of his own voice for over 25 seconds .If that was'nt enough 10 minutes later, some none talking, stuttering, broken english female named Ann or Angie came over the intercome attemping to repeat the same message .
I feel this type of security is very unprofessioal and uninviting to customers . At least get someome that speakes clearly and know how to articulate a simple sentence.
I have been shopping there every since that store opened and never have I been so insulted or felt watched. If that was'nt enough some spaced out looking, tattooed, female employee was standing around the cash register as if I had no right to complain .
I will NEVER shop there again and I will tell all my friends, family and co-workers to do the same !

Just letting people know, if you are interested in getting a job at Family Dollar, you better hope and pray there is not anything that will happen while you are employed there. I was working at the Family Dollar in Moncks Corner for over a year and my kids got into a major car accident. I had to take some time off because I was taking them both back and forth, 40 mins away, to hospitals or surgeons after the accident. My boss told me to take some time off because of this problem, because I was the only one that could take them. My husband is in the miitary and out alot so he was not able to help much. When I was able to return to work, my boss told me to come back on a Friday morning to work. I came in with my uniform on and was told by the ###. manager that I had to do another application. After the application, she told me I had to go home until they called me back in after I was told to work that morning. Well a few days went by and I called and they kept telling me that they had to wait for my application to go threw again. I still didnt know why I had to re-do another application because I did not quit. So by the end of the week, I never heard anything. I called my boss and she told me that I could no longer work there because I did not give a 2 week notice. I told her I never quit, and she said she knew that but they took me out of the system. I wrote corporate and asked why I was not longer able to work there, because I never quit my job and told them what had happened. They wrote me back and said they will get back in touch with me that they needed to investigate in what had happened. I never heard back from them. I have proof of the accident and pictures of it all, to let them know that was the truth that happened, and why I wasnt able to come back in at the time. I called my boss on the scene of the accident, so she was up dated the whole time of it all. Its awful how your job will let you go after they told you that you still had your job after a bad thing like this.
