Unprofessional Company

Pros

If you like a fast pace environment and daily challenges and seen your own hard work start paying off in sales.

Cons

The cons are that they do not give you enough hrs to properly run the business. Not enough hrs to have enough cashiers for business demands even though upper management drills into you that they do give you enough hrs to run process. No they dont. Managers have to be the overseer, the cashiers, the stockers, the maintenance, the truck unloaded, the merchandisers. No hrs to train new associates so in turn you have a high turn over in employees. When another store gets behind in there own process because they have hired wrong people for the job now they make other store salary managers go into another store to get that store back on track. Mean while they dont give you the hrs you need to cover your store and you end up having to work 60 to 70 hrs that week.

Pros

Paid vacation time. Some flexibility in schedules. Health benefits are good. Little micro management.

Cons

Physically tough on your body. Low pay. You will be asked to work 6 days a week during holidays with NO pay increase! It’s literally hell on you and your staff! The company could careless if we are working for free and unable to see our families during the holiday. No time off during this time either! You just have to pray you get sick to get an extra day off to actually have a life.

Avoid this company

Pros

Overall the company is decent. Good people and fun to work with the customers.

Cons

Poor pay! Every employee from store manager down to cashiers is underpaid for what the company expects you to do. Understaffed! The company’s solution to hiring less people is to have the store manager work more. Sometimes 80+ hours a week. This is ok with upper management. After all they still get their days off, no one cares if the store manager works open to close for weeks on end. It’s just expected. No work life balance! You will be married to dollartree, forget having a life, no friends, no freedom, eventually no family as you won’t have time for any of it. The company doesn’t case about you! They will use you as hard as they can until you burn out, then it’s on to the next person.
