Pros

small stores,, a tiny group of employees. so I had a good time with most. hours are flexible, and you can easily move up. I made assistant manager in about 6 months.

Cons

a lot of favoritism. I got terminated after only 1 write-up. Others had countless write ups and are still there, and a lot of the write ups they had were for drug and alcohol use.

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.
