Pros

The only good thing about this company are the bonuses. Nothing good about working here-NOTHING!!!!!!!

Cons

Poor working conditions. Your scheduled 48 hours salary and they make you work over 60 hours. The store appearance has horrifying conditions. If someone doesn’t show up you have to work a double shifts. Lazy employees. Bad locations to work in. No time for family. You live there.Supervisors don’t know how to treat their employees . Always threatening their jobs. Dirty work conditions. Bathrooms are never clean. They give you a store to run that is a sissy to start off with. They harass the employees. They put you in a store where the customers speak another language and you are told to use your phone to translate. Pay sucks except for bonuses. Your check is broken down by vacation and sick time.Employees are very lazy. Show up when they want to and are always late.Cant ever get a hold of the Corporate office. Never pick up the phone. I repeat do not except any job from Dollar Tree. They should be shut down due to horrible working conditions.Management only thinks about themselves.Making sure they chew you out first to cover there butt.

Pros

Working at Dollar Tree provided valuable hands-on leadership experience across every aspect of retail operations. I strengthened my skills in inventory management, merchandising, freight planning, staffing, customer service, compliance, and operational execution. The fast-paced environment challenged me to think quickly, prioritize effectively, and develop my team while delivering results. The relationships I built with my associates and customers were by far the most rewarding part of the job.

Cons

The workload often exceeded the labor hours provided, making it challenging to consistently meet operational expectations. Store managers were frequently expected to handle multiple responsibilities while working with lean staffing levels. Facility and equipment issues sometimes took longer than expected to resolve, and support from upper management could be inconsistent. While the job offered valuable experience, maintaining work-life balance could be difficult during peak freight and seasonal periods.
