Dollar Tree Retail Store Associate reviews

They tell you one thing at time of hiring. Was told I would be trained as cashier, floor associate, and stocking back room when truck delivery came in. They did none of this. They had me working 2 days a week closing hrs and all they said is fix shelves and clean floors. The supervisor for truck night never on time and always smelled like marijuana.

Expectations from corporate are extremely higher than the payroll and tools given to do the job. Keeping employees is often hard due to lack of hours available to give them. If you have a minimum hour store most days it's 2 employees only a cashier and the manager. Backroom expectations are hard to maintain due to abundance of packaways and the amount of overstock freight that's constantly being sent. It can be done but then the sales floor expectations aren't met. Ex. Capshelves, Stackouts,etc. Managers are often overworked trying to meet the expectations with little to no reward other than being burned out and belittled by higher management. The corporate office has nice facilities and the staff is treated to accommodations that the store employees are left without when the stores are the ones making their paychecks. Most stores are extremely cold in winter and hot in summer restrooms are often messed up and unavailable. When you reach out for assistance you are treated like a bum off the street asking for something.
