Dollar Tree Employee Reviews

I liked working at the Dollar Store in Sterling Park Va. The customers were friendly, my manager was nice and the cash register was very easy to use. Why I left was because the hours and money were awful and there wasn’t that much of an opportunity for advancement.

Pros

Easy work, nice manager and coworkers, friendly customers

Cons

Below average pay, lack of hours, benefits

Mistreatment of Employees

Assistant Manager (Former Employee) - Saint Augustine, FL - 28 November 2023

Horrible company to work for. Passed me for manager to guys then pushed me out because I made to much as an ASM. Was forced to work alone too many times to count.

Unorganized

Set Up Crew (Former Employee) - Thunder bay - 28 November 2023

I had scheduled an interview only to show up and wait hours due to it accepting walk-ins. That's fine and all but no priority to appointments booked. It was pathetically unorganized. The management had no concern for the appointments booked. after hours of waiting and watching people sneak ahead of me I couldn't continue. In all my years I've never seen anything like this

Over worked underpaid

Assistant Operations Manager (Former Employee) - Glendale, AZ - 28 November 2023

You would work 2ppl per shift and it’s not fair for the pay you are always running to complete a display or stock and being called to help run a register

It’s a good part time second job, but you work for pennys frfr. They only have part time hours, and even when they say they have hours, they don’t allow you to work them

An enjoyable place to work

Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) - Davie, FL - 27 November 2023

the hardest part of working at Dollar Tree is that during holidays, there are never enough employees on the floor to handle the crowds.The best part of the job was dealing with the public. Most of my customers were Hispanics with little to no English skills, and I enjoyed the ability to communicate with them in their language. They really appreciated the fact that I spoke spanish as well.

Pros

Flexible schedule

Cons

Not enough employees

What is the best part of working at the company?The manager of that location. As well as the other employees.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?The way products are ordered by a totally separate place which leads to over ordering. What is the work environment and culture like at the company?It varies from store to store. I have trying reaching out to HR several times to change my direct deposit account and never really did get to talk to anyone. I was prompted to leave a voice mail. I also responded to them via email and again never got a response that way either.What is a typical day like for you at the company?Busy but steady.

It was a job

Overnight Stocker (Former Employee) - New Bedford, MA - 26 November 2023

It was always my second job, just for extra income. In the 7 years I worked at my store I had 5 different store managers. That tells you something. I just showed up and did my job, was as productive as possible.

Productive and professional.

Cashier (Former Employee) - Owasso, OK - 26 November 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?The hours. The training. The managers over the store, and the general manager.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Am I stressful part was remembering to do the sales while you were checking out customers especially during the holidays.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Fast and friendly service. A professional atmosphere professional training.What is a typical day like for you at the company?You were clock in with the managers you would get your tray you will count your drawer. And your manager would tell you what the daily or weekly adds was to do the announcements, then you would turn on your light and then you would check out your customers, if you got more than four customers behind and your line they would send other people another cashier out to open up another line. And then you would do put backs. And basically you just would do that until the end of your shift and then you would do a chore like clean the bathroom, or the break room. And then you would have escort one of the managers, to drop off the bank bag. And that would be it and you would go home.

G.O.L.D. Standard failure

Associate (Current Employee) - Red Bluff, CA - 24 November 2023

The list of duties and description of the job you applied for isn't actually yours,it's whatever the DM,Store Manager,or Freight manager tell you it is. You have no real acceptance with managers. There are hazards and little regard to safety of the customers. Boxes all over the floors of unopened products. No planned stocking no organization and some of the managers have their children work under the table. They play favorites so if your in their way they treat you like garbage.

Pros

Free plastic bags

Cons

Poor Management, No actual training, Weak Time Management, Favoritism

What is a typical day like for you at the company?For me most days were ok.There are times where the job can be stressful.
