Pros

The pay for store manager is nice but you end up in dirty stores,all associates except you are part time and most don't care nor have any work ethic Training was ok, they didn't cover everything and left a lot up to another sm to teach you..

Cons

They'll never fix cameras then when one assistant manager goes out sick and you're working 90 hours to cover those shifts since your dm refuses to help and another assistant steals money you'll get blamed even though you weren't there that day and the day you found out money was missing was also the day your dm finally came in to check on the store. Don't waste your energy, they do not value anyone and will find a way to fire you.

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.
