Vantaggi
Your staff will make or break you. Learned a lot of what NOT to do. Your stores success depends on the state of your stockroom.
Svantaggi
By far, one of the WORST things about this company, is what they DO NOT tell you until you are hired in. Firstly, a typical work week is 40hrs, no? Maybe even 45…. But Dollar Tree functions on a 48 hr work week; yet expects management to be on schedule for 51hours total. If you do the math, on just those extra 8 hours; (from typical 40 to standard 48) it comes out to TWO extra months of free work. That’s 60 days. Beyond that, in Q4, you are expected to work 6days a week; (for a 6-8wks) and it’s not 51hrs/6days, they expect an additional work day, altogether! Now as management; this is all kind of stuff to be expected *could* potentially happen, however, Dollar Trees lack of transparency is insane. If you take a store manager position with the company; please keep the aforementioned mentioned hour requirements in mind when NEGOTIATING (that’s right, you should be negotiating!) your salary.
