Pros

Flexible schedule...cause you hardly get any hours anyway. It's easy to advance to assistant manager so you can use that on your resume. That's it

Cons

MASSIVE THEFT FROM BOTH CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES! Manager is lazy and gets paid GOOD money to do nothing. No hours for employees and asm. Pay sucks for an assistant Manager and they pay you less than you should get. I'm constantly the only one closing the store, so there is no growing within company when I'm always working the same shift and having to clean up after the daytime people. Daytime just screws off and leaves their trash,boxes and u-boats everywhere.

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.
