Family Dollar
Corporation ripoff

I completely understand with the earlier posts from people who have dealt with Family Dollar as a customer or as an employee. I worked for eight years as a store manager and have seen and witnessed many problems inside the corporate monster. I was "dismissed" because the district manager wanted all new store managers under his new reign as our district's new manager. I am a very down to earth person, honest, and also willing to always give 110% to anything I do. My dismissal had no grounds.

It is true also about what people say about working so many countless hours and only recieving a 40 hr. Paycheck. Family Dollar calls it manager's salary... We don't clock in... We write down our hours/add to computer at end of week. Then they send us a base pay for what we unfortunately had agreed to in writing. Our pay is told to us at time of hiring - salary. We are also told we would never work more than around 45 hours per week. My average was 66 hours per week. If I wasn't at work, I was called in by my DM and told I was needed. It never ended.

So many other things I could share. Thankfully, I have learned from my time at Family Dollar, And continue to try to lead others to other job opportunities with in retail. Family Dollar was an enormous waste of eight hard-working years.
