Pros

Interacting with my regular customers.

Cons

Well I've worked for dollar tree for 16 month's at Springfield plaza. I never called out of work. I had a 20 min walk from my house to the job in a winter conditions I always did what I was told of me. Treating custermers like family even the snotty ones. Never had a complaint from any customer. I was very fast at the register. I was also told there would be room for advancement and I got deceived There is a lot of favoritism amongst employees and managers. If you kiss their behinds then you might get extra hours. They claim they didn't have money to give me more than 15 hours a week but they were constantly hiring new ppl. I went from working 20 hrs a wk to 12hrs to 8hrs. I found they were giving my hrs to the new hires and the brown nosers. They did me wrong. I was the go to person when my co-workers used to no called/No show. I never turned them down even though I used to walk to and from work. Today I was wrongfully terminated by Dollar Tree. They claimed I was giving out free products to customers. Seriously, we are talking about Dollar Tree. Everything is a dollar. Why would I need to give things out for free? I feel they terminated me because I refused to be a brown noser and kiss up to them.

Pros

Leadership that cares about their Associates. Opportunities to grow skills and knowledge via trainings and cross-team ventures. Employee Relation Groups that are important to a diverse workforce.

Cons

Pay is lacking for the experience gained. Annual performance review is not indicative of the work put it. Follow up on issues is not consistent. Some employees are disciplined for small infractions while others are provided zero repercussions for blatant failure to abide by the rules.

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.
