Dollar Tree job reviews

Best thing
It's an okay job for someone in high school looking to earn a little money to get them started. You can learn some good customer service skills.
Worst thing
This may vary depending on location, however the schedule is always being changed with little to no notice. While I understand that things happen and the schedule needs to be adjusted accordingly the appropriate notice needs to be given to any impacted by the change. The store can be hard to navigate due to a lack of proper stocking & cleanliness. Management often think that because they aren't sales associates that a different set of rules apply to them, which couldn't be farther from the truth. Regardless of your role, everyone has to pull their own weight for the store to operate properly.

Best thing
Some of the coworkers are friendly
Worst thing
Having a manager that you cannot rely on.
A manager that does not even understand your job and does not encourage growth.
There is no career progression in the company unless you are in someones good books and they are willing to train you.
In my department they pay is very low and you don’t even get compensated or recognized for all the work you do. Even though you have to figure everything out and problem solve yourself. Once your manager knows you are good at something, they will take advantage and you will not be compensated for that.! Tou won’t even get a well done, and again the pay is really low. So, there is no motivation at allBank administrator at Dollar Tree, January 2025
