Pros

Monthly sales bonus, benefits package. That's really it. There is nothing else that is positive for me to comment on.

Cons

Greedy company who can pay 8 billion dollars to purchase Family Dollar, but still pays minimum wage of 7.25 to associates and barely more than that for assistant managers. Work life balance is non existent.

Pros

I enjoyed working at Dollar Tree because it allowed me to lead a team, help develop associates, and make a difference in my store. I liked the fast-paced environment and the variety of challenges that came with running daily operations. The experience helped me grow as a manager, strengthen my problem-solving skills, and build great relationships with both my team and customers.

Cons

The biggest challenges were limited staffing, heavy workloads, and a lack of support from the district level when issues arose. PTO requests were often denied due to business needs, which made it difficult to achieve a good work-life balance. While these challenges could be frustrating at times.
