Review from Sales Dept
Manager works with her people to show that all associates and Management are a team. I dont work for the Dollar Tree I work for My Manager
We all work good together as a team
They at least try to help, but it's not enough at times.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Stocking recovery and show up for work
Identifying problems before they happen not as they happen
Communication, gossip, providing support for the associates
Everything, they are so unprofessional
How she Communicates with staff
What is the best part about your compensation package?
I'm fine with all the benefits just not the management.
The best part is the medical and dental insurance
My dental and medical I guess
I am a part time employee
To be handling the packages, but I am not to be carrying a heavy packages, I have a bad back, and I was to handling the packages is light weight
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Reviews with futute goals and training
It's because of the lack of shifts that I often have trouble paying certain bills and whatnot. I needed shifts to keep me afloat but I feel like they don't listen.
For what they expect of their hourly employees, they pay would be more palatable if they at least gave them a minimum of 20 hours per week. Mind you these are mostly low-income people and 8-15 hours a week is a joke and one never knows how many hours they will get from week to week.
I was expected to run the cash register, and stock the shelves, while the shift manager took multiple smoke breaks. I was called into to work when not scheduled and given the impression that if I didn't my position at the store was in jepordy.
Be acknowledged for my work

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Their work ethic and commitment to the job.
Review from Customer Success Dept
Communication Meetings Follow through Leading by example
Definitely, team building would have been helpful and give employees and the management an opportunity to discuss the work environment and air grievances constructively.
Do there jobs right and finish there jobs
Manager is most of problem, no training from her at all.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
It's a very flexible schedule
Staff and we having fun while working
People seem to enjoy their jobs and coming to work
New hires that eager to learn
Team work support from SM
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Listen to your employees give them a voice to be heard. And not be worried to do so. I'm 52 years old and I work really hard at what I try to do for my store, even though I used training from when I worked for Dollar General cause I got no direct training here then written up for things I was shown.
Get traind managers in your stores
More hours to put more employees in the store at 1 time
An actual inventory system, so that there isn't an overflow of products that don't sell. And not enough of products that do sell
To get rid of the full time assistant manager who causes turmoil and is not reliable and is costing the company money and time. Can't show up for her scheduled shifts and has walked out on her shift to leave me by myself but apparently that's ok. And still has a job?
What did you like most about the interview process?
Questions of interest and the managers personality and skill
They hired me before i was interviewed just based on my application and resume'
I appreciate feeling the confidence that my experience was appreciated. Unfortunately, Ms. Yvette then saw that as a threat.
Josh made me feel like I was a team member.
Review from Customer Support Dept
The district manager at the time was very polite and well-mannered. He made sure everyone was treated fairly and equally
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Better background checks and 3 month probation period
Treat people nice, make good compliments instead of making them feel uncomfortable.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Be more upfront about training and what the work is like

Review from Sales Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
Making customers satisfied. Being able to be a part of customers common needs.
The pay and the customers
Our customers are wonderful and i like serving them
Stocking and clearing the backroom
I like to stay busy and i do
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
New and improved management fast
If the managers can simply listen to what I ask and say that I have issues with overall instead of removing things I need.
Hire people who really want to work, and retain fewer people giving them more hours. This would go a long way in keeping people who know what they are doing.
Pay the managers better and add security to stores that need it. Some usual form of physical protection would make employees feel safer, going to work.
Need more staff for faster checkout instead of just one cashier and to declutter the store.
What do you like best about your company?
It gave me the opportunity to work slow and short and not many hours at first when I was having a difficult time.
The friendly customers and our products
