Pros

Compensation is ok. Positive interactions with customers especially since everythings only a dollar. Great opportunity to build lasting professional and friendship relationships. Great business model as the company is the best at what it does.

Cons

Poor evaluation processess. Sales and labor expectation are sometimes unattainable as they are 100% based on last years comps. VERY poor loss prevention support, especially for external theft. Very much a "yes man" enviornment which translates into a "my way or the highway" attitude from the DM level and above.

Pros

I enjoyed working at Dollar Tree because it allowed me to lead a team, help develop associates, and make a difference in my store. I liked the fast-paced environment and the variety of challenges that came with running daily operations. The experience helped me grow as a manager, strengthen my problem-solving skills, and build great relationships with both my team and customers.

Cons

The biggest challenges were limited staffing, heavy workloads, and a lack of support from the district level when issues arose. PTO requests were often denied due to business needs, which made it difficult to achieve a good work-life balance. While these challenges could be frustrating at times.
