I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Dollar Tree (Pawleys Island, SC) in May 2018
Interview
I had a phone interview for store managers position in Pawleys Island, S.C. and formal interview was the next day. He did not ask any interview questions. I was told that he was moving the asistant up. Wanted to know if I wanted the asistant job and top pay was $13 hour. I told him that I could not work for nothing remotely close to that. Very unprofessional. I have over 15 years retail management experience and never had anything like this happen. He should have been up front and said he was moving the asistant up. The story does not end their. I get a call a few days later from a different dollar tree. I tell the lady on the phone I have had an interview with the DM in Pawleys. She said that he wanted her to interview me. I figured that maybe it's for another store. Turns out that the lady is a store manager that is hiring an asistant and the DM gave her my application by mistake.
The interview process was minimal and largely informal. The initial conversation with the regional leadership consisted of a brief phone call, and there was limited direct interaction with district management prior to starting. In fact, I did not meet the district manager until after onboarding and training, and did not meet the regional director in person until several months into the role. Overall, the hiring process felt more like a fast placement based on experience rather than a structured multi-step interview process.
You apply, talk to HR and District ,Lastly you will speak to the regional briefly. If experience whole process goes pretty fast. This position is very fast pace, its no down time.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Dollar Tree (Augusta, GA)
Interview
