Pros

There are some very good people working for the company.

Cons

The pay, benefits, hours are all terrible. No one cares about employee appreciation day when the employees get nothing except some muffins an doughnuts that are paid for out of the managers pocket. Cut the garbage about caring for the employees when it's basically slave labor. If you care about your employees show them you care, don't just pay them lip service. If you have a store and the ac has been broken for a few months don't tell me it takes a couple months to get an estimate to get it fixed or replacement that's because you don't want to spend the money on the units or your real estate department isn't working like it should be to press the building owners to get the job done. You can't expense water on hot truck days, you stay open during states of emergency, tornados, hurricanes and all kinds of poor weather. If you truly care about your employees BOB SASSER then for crying out loud SHOW IT!!!!!

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.
