Pros

The company offers long term financial stability. Overall benefits are industry standard.

Cons

Diversity was very lacking in senior leadership. Most VPs and above are white men, even in HR. HR leadership is very harsh and creates a culture of hostility in the workplace. Most employees are afraid to speak with their HR partners due to their reputation of not caring about the employees. There is no leadership training in the corporate office. Internal promotes are expected to figure out how to lead on their own and are held accountable if they do not. Lower level management receives little support from upper management and are often blamed for failures. The company has a no retaliation policy. This is great in concept, however, the company regularly retaliates against their employees with what employees have come to know as "company approved retaliation." Disciplining employees to a stricter standard when they are targeted by HR and holding them accountable for things they violate themselves. I was a first hand witness to this on many occasions. HR partners were unprofessional and routinely spoke and acted in a way that was unbecoming of HR. As an overall culture piece, the company does an amazing job of talking about putting the people first. However, it stops with talking. There is little to no action to back that up.

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.
