I have applied to a Family Dollar, actually. I've done so many of those personality analysis tests that I can do them pretty quick. Wasted my time though, never got the job.

I believe people find it easy to shoplift because some of the cameras are fakes. One time I was in there and saw kids walking out of the door with things they didn't pay for, the staff saw them as well. All they told them was not to come in there anymore. smh

Yea, I know they never call I have tried several different methods and never received a call. I am not sure what they are looking for there, but I have noticed for the most part every time you go in there is new staff and maybe one original person from the previous time. When you ask they will say they all were fired. I am not talking about going back within the same week either.

Really? Where do you come up with this stuff?

You have not actually had to hire someone have you?

A far majority of people that would shoplift and/or rob wouldn't or couldn't hold a job long term anyway, it has NOTHING to do with an application being to long or complicated.

We are not talking about some guy stealing a loaf of bread to feed his baby.

Aye I have also applied to Family dollar numerous times, never a call back and of course if you check their website, snagajob etc.. they are "still hiring". I also tried calling up to follow up on app, but no one ever picks up on their end. I will bug them again next week

I think you can do a lot better than Family Dollar and should look into some telemarketing positions if they are in your area because it strengthens your communication skills.

Family Dollar does nothing
