Family Dollar, Inc. is an American retail chain that specializes in discount and convenience stores.
The company was founded in 1962 and has over 2,600 stores in the United States. Family Dollar provides employees with a variety of benefits, including 401(k) plans and medical insurance.
In 2017, the average hourly wage for a Family Dollar employee was $10.90.
Despite this, the company does not provide raises to its employees. This is in contrast to other large retailers, such as Walmart and Target, which have increased their hourly wage rates in recent years.
Some have argued that Family Dollar does not provide raises because it is a discount store and not a traditional retailer. Others have argued that the company does not have to provide raises because its employees are primarily low-paid workers.
In either case, it is likely that Family Dollar does not provide raises because its cost of doing so is too high.
