Pros

Unfortunately, there are not many good reasons to work at family dollar. In all honesty, there are only 2 good reasons. One would be job security. Family dollar has extremely low standards. If you open your store on time, stay under in payroll, and don't steal, your job is pretty secure. They may write you up or lecture you, but that is about it. Other than that you have to beg them to fire you. The other good reason to work there is that provided you can tolerate the working conditions long enough, you can advance through the comopany

Cons

long hours small staff means you have to do everything yourself poor assistant manager training and development poor pay for assistants leads to pathetic hiring pool sweat shop-like work conditions leads to constant turnover of hourly employees

Pros

Accommodations aren't expressly a right, but policy does appear to be flexible enough to allow for them to be made, given at the most senior person's discretion of course. I was mid very high risk pregnancy when they hired me and even though it ended up working out that i could sit when necessary for dizziness or the like, eat something much more often than the other employees, it seemed, or go home when i had pushed myself too hard but it always felt like requests were accepted begrudgingly and always questioned or made eyes roll

Cons

Wage isnt worth it. It seems like every location is just permanently stuck in a moment that 3 full trucks were unloaded just as the one that needs to be on the shelves is being shoved into some small dark corner behind the boxes being opened and identified as the missing seasonal isle stock from last year.
