What I liked

I'm really glad that there is always something to do. I have worked a lot of slower-paced part-time jobs, so this gig is much more enjoyable. The managers and staff are really nice, although it can be stressful on weekends when there are so many shoppers. Overall, it's still nice to work there

May 2018 • New Castle, PA

What I liked

Management is really easy to get along with. Plus operating the register is pretty simple. Hours are easy if you’re part time, the longest shift I’ve had is five and a half hours.

What I wish was different

I wish there was more people my age that worked there. A majority of them are significantly older than me, and probably don’t work there out of love for the store. I only work there just because it’s an easy enough job

Advice

Be prepared for some pretty strange customers. Dollar Tree attracts all kinds of people, and they will come in all shapes and sizes, as well as anytime of day or night.

sales associate

February 2020 • Mokena, IL

What I liked

I love the work environment, and my co-workers were lovely people. The store was neat, and my boss was an amazingly hard-working woman.

What I wish was different

I wish there was more staff in the store. There was always a problem hiring people, and it shouldn't be like that considering the store is really nice.

Advice

Never take it for granted! Always work hard, and give 100%. It will all be worth it once sales kick in. Be nice to people, and always ask for help if you don't understand something. If you are struggling with life, don't be afraid to speak up and let people know your alright.

Don’t be afraid if it’s your first job. It’s not as bad as you may think.

Sales Associate

June - August 2020 • Decatur, GA

What I liked

I liked the other employees. All the managers had a good head on their shoulders and most of the other associates pulled their weight.

What I wish was different

I wish I hadn't picked cashier as my designated role. I really don't like having to deal with that many people at once.

Advice

Make sure you know what you want to do when you walk in for the interview. If you just spitball and take on a role that you hate, you'll have very few opportunities to operate outside of that designation.
