Pros

Good Benefits that begin day one of hire if you are full time.

Cons

ASM's are only guaranteed 35 hours per week, though they did try a few time to give me less than that. Never an opportunity for OT No employee discounts Extremely demanding workload Only one paid holiday - Christmas No time and a half on other holidays Absolutely NO beneficial training or guidance other than watching videos Lots of theft that you aren't allowed to do anything about Hard to make employee purchases during a shift due to extreme rules Very low pay for the workload, especially since you will NEVER get 40 hours unless you're salary Extremely difficult to find someone to cover your shift if you need time off or are sick. Have been told that I could not leave, even when sick, until the store closed. All decisions seemed to be driven by corporate pencil pushers and investment firms that could care less about the employees. Staffing is kept at bare minimum and often isn't enough

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.
