I applied online. I interviewed at Dollar Tree (Madison, WI) in Sep 2024
Interview
They bait and switched me. I applied for store manager, was interviewed on the phone for that position but when I had an in person interview was told there wasn't a store available for me to manage and they were interviewing to "keep on the side benches". I was offered a "potential manager" position, which was hourly and at a lower rate. Said position would keep me rotating between stores until one opens. When I asked about a timelines they say it might take 3 to 6 months, but maybe more or less. The emphasis was put on the more.
