Pros

There are Dollar Trees EVERYWHERE which makes transferring and all that very easy as long as you've been with the company 6 months and that you have good DMs/SMs that you're dealing with.

Cons

Everything is so unorganized. I literally didnt work for almost 3 weeks because after my assistant manager training I wasn't assigned a home store so, I was just bouncing from store to store. The district manager went on vacation and spaced making my schedule. Also, when he was making my schedules... I wouldnt know when or where I was working until one MAYBE two days before the beginning of the week. They also have this very thorough training that you're supposed to go through as an assistant manager but, extra hours are not given to your training store for you so they have to take from their normal hours which means you are the coverage for where they have to cut hours. So, you don't really get to go through the training like you should. The store manager actually gave me a lot of the answer and/or wrote the right answers in when he looked over my work book. When I was done with my training which I LOVED my training store they were beyond helpful and things ran pretty smooth... the next store I went to was completely different. What I was taught about what being an operations manager was not how the operations manager worked at the next store or the next or the next. lol. It was very annoying.

Pros

My coworkers are kind and honest. The work is fun when it can be and some of the customers have a good spirit. When it comes to your break, you can at least afford your snacks/meals cause they're cheap. I find it fun to look into what my customers are buying. Managers are great and modest about their greatness. Would recommend to a friend because there are worser places to work at.

Cons

Some people have been consistently calling out in my area and I am burnt out from people who don't show up when they're scheduled to. If you're a cashier, you only get a ten minute break and it's not enough time for ramen. You'll feel lucky when you get 30 minutes for covering someone else's shift. Corporate is dramatic with some of their rules, like it's considered theft if you don't pay for your food, but you require a manager to be present in order to pay for it, and managers can be busy at times. Some customers can be quite impatient whilst making the line longer with demands, especially if they don't calculate their finances whilst shopping. Some of the technology is old and when it's broken down, I am told that I am not allowed to put "out of order" signs up. Some customers don't understand that they should never pay with a $100 bill early in the morning at any store. If you want to volunteer and do extra work without a payroll, you will be told that you can get written up for it because they have to pay you. The trainings on workday are obvious that they're old by many years and have not been updated to match new policies.
