You Will Be A Highly Paid Cashier and Stocker - Recensione dipendente - Dollar Tree Store Manager presso Dollar Tree

You will be worked to death. I worked 37 straight days last Christmas with absolutely no days off. I was forced to pay no more than 7.25 an hour to all of my cashiers and stockers. In my area of 25,000 people all of the other retail stores pay much hire to hire the best help leaving my store with the worst employees. Almost everyone had a criminal history with their mugshots posted online! These are the types of people that i was to have handle my merchandise and cash. No security cameras in my store. Bathrooms located deep in the stockroom forcing the public to wander around my backroom tripping over merchandise.No alarms on stockroom doors. i could never tell who was walking around my backroom. Very common for young female stockers to be walked upon by total strangers behind stacks of boxes. This is a disaster waiting to happen. My store was without management for months before I was assigned to it. The backroom was in total chaos. Dollar tree doesn't have any shelving in any of its backrooms. Fire Marshall had been called out over 3 times to this location.If you get a 1500 piece truck, you will unload each and every carton by hand. No totes, bins,pallets,racks...nothing. You will drag an archaic set of steel rollers and adjust the height to the back of the truck if you're unlucky enough to not have a back dock. Since Dollar Tree purchased Family Dollar there is no labor given to you to have people work your stock out. Labor hours are awarded based on sales. No sales. No labor hours + you will run the entire operation by yourself. Can't get sales if you can't get the stock out of the backroom, again no labor hours. Get the picture? I struggled to find people to unload 1800 piece trucks in the pouring rain at 5 AM when they could go to Arbys and get paid 10.00 an hour. You are expected to be constantly hiring. That's what you will be told repeatedly. They know you're store will be a revolving door.I was told "forget about trying to hire the best just keep hiring...cause all of the bad ones will weed themselves out". I literally ran out of people to hire in my area. Most had criminal records. The rest you couldn't use because they worked too slow and Dollar Tree TIMES everyone's cashiering and stocking rates.rates. Thats right I couldn't keep good people because they were a little slower than the expected rate of stocking merchandise. The success of your store is based upon you having a group of people that are comfortable working for minimum wage and only 5 to 15 hours a week. Yes, thats the limit to the hours you can schedule your people. I was forced to also schedule people no more than 4 or 5 hour shifts to avoid having to give a lunch. People won't do this for minimum wage in a competitive wage market.My store was absolutely filthy with a horrible floor, holes in the walls, leaking roof that would destroy ceiling tiles causing them to crash down onto the floor.Walls were original color from over a decade ago.Dollar tree refused to make any improvements to this store.They are cheap so be prepared for no copiers or fax machines in your office.After working 82 hours in one week I decided that the work life balance didn't exist. Do the math if you are salary at 35 to 45k a year, what is that really after 60 to 75 hours a week?
