Original Comment Dollar tree/Family dollar are the lowest paying jobs in Michigan. Starting out at 11$ an hour but expecting there employees to pick up the slack of 3 people's job duties due to not having enough help. The ones that are working are hired in at part time so they don't quilfy for any of the benefits. These people than get scheduled full time because they are short handed and expected to give 100% at there job, but are not even making enough to cover there rent a month let alone provide for there families, put food on the table and pay all the bills. They got a raise to 14$ an hour but that's from may 29th-August 29th than they go back down to there regular pay. Is this how much your employers mean to you? Because if it is what help you have left is going to walk out and quit and go to an easier job making 7-8$ more an hour not having to do the job of 2 people. This is exactly why your stores in Michigan are so short handed on workers. When you can go to McDonald's and work having to deal with half the stress,cause your fully staffed and get paid 18$ an hour. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's a slap in the face for a family dollar or dollar tree employee. Is that all your employees are worth to you? I will be calling all the news stations in the upper peninsula to fill them in on how you treat your employees. There is absolutely no chances of moving up from cashier as there are never giving a chance. The family dollar in the zip code area of 49781 has 3 managers and 2 part time cashier's who are working way over part time , We are one of the business family dollar stores in the U.P as part time clerks are busting our butts help put truck away, running register while the only other person on that shift is the manager who is trying to do the.101 things there boss told them to do. We are tired of doing the work of a fully staffed store when clearly we are short handed by 3 cashier's and a part time assistant manager. We get absolutely nothing but another 8hr shift. We don't need a temporary raise for the season we need a raise to show us that we are appreciated for all the extra hard work we are doing even tho it's our business season of the year. The St.Ignace family dollar the Cederville family dollar, Kinross and the Sault STE Marie family dollar are about to watch all there employees quit and walk out and have to close the 4 stores completely down because there is no employees to work.Our teenagers are making 7$ more an hour than there parents who are working at family dollar/dollar tree. If you don't want to close the doors of these stores in the Upper Peninsula you may highly think about upping the wages of your employees. Maybe than the stores would get the help they need to be fully staffed again. Because people knowing they have a job that pays there rent and bills ECT.
