Pros

RSU Grant, Annual Bonus, Flexible schedule

Cons

This is by far the worst job I have ever had. Fellow HR Pros - the HR Manager position is more akin to an Administrator or Generalist role. Heavy on data entry, investigations, busy work, COVID tracking, and compiling data from individual roll ups. Because of this, you will work around the clock to keep up. There are zero recognition or engagement programs, and if you want to give any sort of recognition for birthdays, anniversaries, etc, you better be willing to pay for it out of your own pocket. Drastic inconsistencies across the board in terms of practices and policies not being followed. Leadership amongst managers (from store manager to regional director) is abysmal. HR Leadership is embarrassing. There are a few select HR Leaders who are trying to change the company direction and culture. Unattainable goals and objectives, heavy (and I mean HEAVY) turnover in all roles, from stores to corporate. Above all, the way this company treats it's associates is disgusting. Zero people of color in executive roles. Few women in leadership roles. Excessive executive rewards (millions in RSUs, bonus, company jet) while people in the stores are making minimum wage. Complete disregard for the safety of 99% of its workforce.

Pros

Working at Dollar Tree provided valuable hands-on leadership experience across every aspect of retail operations. I strengthened my skills in inventory management, merchandising, freight planning, staffing, customer service, compliance, and operational execution. The fast-paced environment challenged me to think quickly, prioritize effectively, and develop my team while delivering results. The relationships I built with my associates and customers were by far the most rewarding part of the job.

Cons

The workload often exceeded the labor hours provided, making it challenging to consistently meet operational expectations. Store managers were frequently expected to handle multiple responsibilities while working with lean staffing levels. Facility and equipment issues sometimes took longer than expected to resolve, and support from upper management could be inconsistent. While the job offered valuable experience, maintaining work-life balance could be difficult during peak freight and seasonal periods.
