Pros
Dollar Tree really does provide a value in certain departments to lower income shoppers. The first of the month is treated like a holiday because everybody gets thier food stamps and is able to buy what they need to feed thier families. The opportunity for advancement is there, provided you show exceptional leadership qualities, and must be a good stocker. The bonus program offered to management teams is quite a bit more than any other competitors.
Cons
Too many cooks in the kitchen. As store management, I recieve different direction from as many as 3 different supervisors higher than myself as well as company wide direction from the home office. The store manager is ultimatley responsible for everything and is expected to run this business with only one other employee in the building most of the time. The store manager regularly works on his day off, as well as starting all scheduled shifts early and stays late. Average work week is 75-80 hours for the store manager.
