Pros

They hire convicted felons, at least they offer them jobs. I had a back spasm after lifting heavy freight all day, they did in fact offer prompt service for medical treatment, but that's a federal law so...

Cons

Corporate fails to notify managers of convicted felons working in their stores. I knew a manager that was transferred into a new store and setup to look as if he had stolen the deposit. Local corporate management fired him simply to offer a scapegoat to the situation since nothing could be proved. OSHA violations, failure to pay employees, discrimination. I've seen it all and I live in a nice part of town. This company obviously cares about profit and nothing else. I don't know Bob Sasser, maybe he is a charitable man. I hope he is, because the company exhibits a tremendously greedy demeanor in the eyes of the average worker. I'm in college, and this company reminds me every time I go in to work, what I'm working to get away from. Minimum wage, zero benefits for part time (that means NO discount on merchandise). Also, managers complain when you need to use the restroom while cashiering. Insane.

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.
