Pros

Had really amazing coworkers that made working there a bit better

Cons

Company refused to provide security for employees and since we were located downtown, we had to deal with being physically attacked from time to time from lots of crazy people. Worst part about it is you’ll be told by the manager not to fight back for fear of lawsuits. Pay was minimum wage and the work was a lot. Would not recommend

Pros

Working at Dollar Tree provided valuable hands-on leadership experience across every aspect of retail operations. I strengthened my skills in inventory management, merchandising, freight planning, staffing, customer service, compliance, and operational execution. The fast-paced environment challenged me to think quickly, prioritize effectively, and develop my team while delivering results. The relationships I built with my associates and customers were by far the most rewarding part of the job.

Cons

The workload often exceeded the labor hours provided, making it challenging to consistently meet operational expectations. Store managers were frequently expected to handle multiple responsibilities while working with lean staffing levels. Facility and equipment issues sometimes took longer than expected to resolve, and support from upper management could be inconsistent. While the job offered valuable experience, maintaining work-life balance could be difficult during peak freight and seasonal periods.
