Dollar Tree Canada reviews

- Work & Life balance if your a manager is practically non existent - Salary of 35,000 CDN for the 45 hours a week (Which isn't legal by the way max is supposed to be 44) yet expecting 70,000 worth of work to be a manager in their stores - Being told constantly that "your salaried therefor not entitled to overtime" which is wrong if you consult the Ontario Labor Standards Act. Which states that salaried employees ARE indeed entitled to overtime pay if they perform the duties of regular staff, which ALL managers are required to do. Ex. unload truck, stock freight, run tills, clean store etc. - Company constantly tries to skirt around labor laws until they caught, but when you call them out on it they make your life difficult - Constantly cutting of staff hours, then the regional manager demanding to know why work is not being completed. - Advancement opportunities are slim to nil. - Upper management is very out of touch with the realities of the stores day to day running. - Turn over for floor level staff is high due to the fact the company generally will not give more than four hours in any given shift on any given day. Most staff can expect no more than 12 - 15 hours a week if they are lucky. At minimum wage no less.

Drama, understaffed, sexism, insubordination. I'm an assistant manager and my store manager and i have had many problems with another assistant manager who is constantly butting into other peoples business and causing drama and countless conflicts with me and the store manager CANT do anything about it and the district manager WONT do anything about it. This other assistant manager calls in "injured" at least every two weeks and winds up taking three days off which i usually have to cover which is completely unfair because my only days off which I also have school on i wind up getting called in for. I am also the only hope for my manager as we are currently understaffed. The other assistant knows this and still calls in, where as i have worked sick because i know they needed me. Whenever the store manager disciplines or even talks to this assistant about her actions she undercuts the manager and goes to the district manager crying wolf. Saying the store manager is bullying her or she doesn't appreciate the way she's being treated. As a result of this the store manager has given up trying to discipline this person, who now gets away with anything and is just getting worse and worse. We have had so many upper management issues and none of them get resolved and right now the only drama i have in my life comes from this part time job... Work is not suppose to be dramatic... And i don't understand why our district manager hasn't done anything about this assistant, managers have authority over assistant managers so why cant our manager discipline this assistant without being scolded by the district manager. The manager runs the store and knows what is happening and the district only takes the assistants story and doesn't consult the manager at all and punishes the manager... Not to mention the attitude that some of the cashiers give to managers/ standing around instead of working! Usually this is the other way around but i believe that if i am getting paid to be there i have a responsibility to work as hard as i can and so while im working i have to constantly check in with these cashiers to ensure they are working cause if not they will just stand around... Lastly i know these managerial and political problems run very deep because our store is a recently opened one, 5 or 6 months now and the store coordinator that set up our store with us quit the company about two months after our store opened and dropped in for one last thing and told me he was having very similar problems with his bosses... i know this all sounds biased but i can assure you that everything i have told you is true! DONT TRY AND GET A JOB FOR THIS COMPANY
