Pros
Its a good first job but Dollar Tree doesn't do enough for their employees. I only still work there because I enjoy working with everyone at my store. We worked through this covid situation together keeping the store open while others lost staff and closed. Overall, the only valuable thing I got from working at Dollar Tree were the friends I made there, which includes the cashiers, other assistants, sm, and our dm.
Cons
Dollar Tree pays minimum wage to cashiers and expects so much when we're so short staffed. Most hourly associates are highly under paid and over pressured to keep the store open at any cost. They abuse salary managers making work more hours when what they are paid for. For anyone in management there is no work life balance with Dollar Tree. Corporate expects too much for what they are willing to pay for and it results being extremely short staffed. If they want to keep any of the good workers they still have they need to do more to make them feel valued, and not just order management to give associates cards.
