Pros

The best thing about Dollar Tree were my co-workers and that it was a financially stable company. I loved my job tremendously and left on my own, due to a fantastic job offer.

Cons

Unfairness to employees, company politics, poor pay raises, favoritism among employees. My immediate supervisor tried to intimidate me into following his rules and not company policy. He does not like women and especially those that challenge him. Supervisor had very poor communication skills and interpersonal skills. A Vice President intimidates and bullies people in his department if they disagree with anything he says. Very few female executives and very few executives that are not Caucasian. Take home pay decreased every year for about 5 years, due to very low pay increases and continues increases in health care costs and taxes. I could no longer afford to work there.

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.
