Pros

I can not think of one single thing good about the district I worked in.

Cons

Store level positions are not for women....I worked there as a PT Assistant Manager. I am lucky enough to be in a position where I do not have to work, so I thought I would get me a PT job at a retail store. Because of my extensive experience in retail management they offered me PT asst. manager. I have never worked so hard in my life...and I have always been a hard worker. The process of checking in truck and putting up stock is so out dated and inefficient that the manager is constantly putting out stock, and unable to concentrate on customer service or employee issues. It is unbelievable how hard these women work for just a small amount of money, and I do mean small. The manager is no more than a regular employee with a key and salary so she can work 100 hours per week. So if you are in a Dollar Tree, and the cashier or manager is somewhat curt, please understand because these employees go through hell and /or probably in pain from throwing boxes of freight. Big Semi trucks bring the merchandise, approx. 800 boxes and 2 or 3 employees unload the semi truck. Its ridiculous to expect women and small men to do this. Side note, no back belts in any stores.

Pros

Easy job. Goes by very quickly because there is always something to do

Cons

Store is VERY disorganized. The manager is so worried about getting 2000 boxes of freight out that he/she tells everyone to just get it on the shelves no matter what it looks like. Manager spends alot of time counting the boxes that someone else puts out and writing it down then getting mad that no one can do it in the allotted time. The pay is downright embarrasing. They spend too much energy on worrying about internal theft. I never shop in my own store because it is too time consuming to do so.

Pros

1) Price is always $1.00 or less 2) New products weekly and brand name products that sells more at other stores 3) If your store is new then your love the bathrooms, checkout stands, and stockroom/break-room 4) You might get lucky have a wonderful Store Manager that knows what he/she is going half the time

Cons

1) No music to motive employee not even seasonal music 2) Low paid not enough raises, Store Manager working too much hours 3) ASR sets don't work on most of stores what sells in the store, Store Manager knows 4) Not enough Holiday closing, we all have family's if your home with the family's then we should too 5) Depend on locations, some store hours are too long
