What is a typical working day like at Dollar Tree?

- Good people at the store level (mostly) - Mostly kind customers - Proud of being able to assist in providing affordable essentials to the community. - Quick promotional opportunities available

- There's never enough hours allocated by corporate to ensure full staffing of the store and completion of all tasks - Endless freight with no end in sight; endless list of other tasks to complete that are never fully completed because of short staffing and being redirected to other needs within the store - High school level workplace drama - No real breaks for assistant managers; wage and hour violations as a result - Unsafe work environment at times - assistant mgrs sometimes required to run store alone at night, which is an incredibly risky practice - Zero work life balance especially for part time positions; completely open availability seems to be required for managers - Atrocious pay: less than $3 above the minimum wage as an assistant manager, $0.85 above min wage for cashiers. - Schedules sometimes change on very short notice (even the day of) without notification to staff from district level management - No regular specific days off; impossible to plan around the schedule due to inconsistency - Mentally draining and exhausting - rampant burnout in lower level store management. - Many strict policies and procedures that can be easy to forget about/unknowingly violate, running the risk of discipline - Training is not thorough enough - Assistant managers have no life and are basically slaves to the store.

Easygoing Quiet and calm inside the store Work was easily done and not back-breaking or hard

My sleep schedule Laid off Store had no AC at night

Customers were wonderful for the most part.

Too much work for one person. Refused to schedule more employees per shift.

Only close one night a week

No work-life balance and a different solution for unloading trucks

Fast advancement for dedicated individuals who can complete tasks with minimal training. Decent benefits offered.

Always understaffed, High productivity expectations within short timeframes, and minimal staff. Training is computerized, and having to complete this training during a scheduled work shift is very challenging with constant distractions, and the expectation to fulfill your assigned work tasks. Company has a high employee turnover rate. Working here is very stressful. A condition of employment requires signing an arbitration agreement, and I can see why - because many labor laws are violated. Employees' number of tasks is overwhelming, and they lack appreciation. There is never any gratitude for hard work, but guaranteed reprimand for any underperformance. This company does not appreciate its employees. No steady schedule - you will work different days and hours every week. Lots of favoritism occurs.
