Pros

The stores not being 24/7 and, at least in my area, there are a few open till 10pm. At least you can still get home at a decent hour.

Cons

Low pay, way too much work for any individual, expensive benefits, inept and greedy upper management. Simply put it is one of the worst companies to work for in the US.

Pros

I enjoyed working at Dollar Tree because it allowed me to lead a team, help develop associates, and make a difference in my store. I liked the fast-paced environment and the variety of challenges that came with running daily operations. The experience helped me grow as a manager, strengthen my problem-solving skills, and build great relationships with both my team and customers.

Cons

The biggest challenges were limited staffing, heavy workloads, and a lack of support from the district level when issues arose. PTO requests were often denied due to business needs, which made it difficult to achieve a good work-life balance. While these challenges could be frustrating at times.
