Dollar Tree reviews

It's the only place I have worked, that if you work hard and get your assignments done, you get sent home to save payroll hrs. Payroll is so closely tied to sales, that manager has no room to wiggle. If sales are low there are no payroll hrs.to stock shelves. If there is no stock on the shelves, then there are no sales. Manager seems to have little control over the stock that comes into the store. We constantly have to tell customers we are out of popular items and don't know when they will be available. We have had to ask customers to carry items they have bought out of the store in their hands or in trash bags because corporate does't send us bags. The company wants the employees to invest their time and efforts into making DT successful, but they only want to invest minimun wages and mimimize support. They have killed the incentive to do "better". In this economy labor is cheap and DT is taking advantage of it.

Constant shortage of employees to finish daily tasks. Employees often receive more tasks during their shift then can be completed (especially part time employees and cashiers). Employees working freight are asked to do the tedious task of cutting UPC labels off of every box they stock to validate their case counts for the day. Minimum case counts are required. If you fail to meet the required number (which is very high considering the minimum wage) you get written up. If you have to rearrange sections of the store, condense multiple shelves of products or do other tasks that management has asked you to do during your shift, they usually won't take that into consideration when you show your UPC label count at the end of your shift. Far too much effort expected from each employee for the pay rate. Unprofessional management. Most managers and assistant managers are very young and inexperienced.
