Pros

They do have 401k, even for part time. But, that's really about it.

Cons

We do not get enough hours. They don't seem to have back up if someone calls out sick. Then tells them oh no you ain't calling out you are coming into work. How can you tell me I have to come into work. Specially , when you can't keep nothing down. Breaks are only 10 mins. I've lived in Florida my whole life and always had 15 min. Breaks. I was told it goes by the company (where they are located) I find that hard to believe. Florida is Florida. Period. Florida is where I work & live. These are laws we go by. Not Virginia. Oh, also when you give RAISES you should at least give what's accurate with what the person is doing. Not 8,10,13 cents. Seriously! Another thing, the managers & assistant managers get the bonuses and that's not right! Everybody in my store pulls their weight. I personally pull a little more. I'm the last person they see before walking out. I think it's only fair & right to give us some kind of %of the bonuses.

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.
