Pros

Sometimes flexible with hours; depends on who you have for a boss.

Cons

Negative -1000 stars •Works all holidays except for Christmas • Demands more work everyday, but never give raises. (While prices are going above $3.00 or more; raises aren’t even going up $.50 to a dollar) •If you work with awful people and you’re a good worker the work gets pushed off to you and expected to pick up the slack of others. •Sends trucks every week with 1,000+ unnecessary items and no space for, however the backroom is always full of things you still have to try and fit on already full shelves. • I would find another job, they are a greedy and horrible company to work for and just want bodies in a building. •No true growth in the company. •Low-ball you for Management positions even if you already came with Management experience.

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.
