I'm a former employee. Thanks to everyone who has used this site to voice you're complaints, nice to know there's lots of us out there. I worked for this company for over 2 yrs. In that time I was abused/harassed/mistreated on an almost daily basis. As well as every employee I worked with.Corporate wouldnt listen, the DM (ken), harrassed the female employees, sexually and otherwise and the company did nothing.I went out on medical leave, when I returned, the DM tells the other mngrs., get what you can on her and get her out of here. I knew too much and was a kink to the company.I worked my [censored] off for this company.Loved and cared for the employees and customers as though they were family. For 2 months, they continually told me they hadn't made a decision as to whether I could return to work(see they got wind that they were gonna be held respnsible for my illness and surgery which is why they had to get rid of me).2Months I was in limbo not allowing me to file unemployment and receiving NO income.Then the HR(Travis) threatens the employees not to talk to me or mention my name EVER! or face retaliation. Well, thats what they did to me even though the employee handbook states they can't do that.(footnote:didnt get a handbook until the day before I was put on mystery leave). I worked through my breaks and lunch. Never got a break or lunch break in over 2 years!worked everyday anywhere from 1-8 hrs over my scheduled time, off the clock and was never paid for it. This was required by the DM. They treat the employees and customers like poop. I could write a novel on the horrific way they treat people. If you research, you will see, as I found, this is company policy I guess. I padded Sassers pockets! Thanks for the props.
Dont know what employement's like there, here, its a small town, I'm a single mom, lost my husband in Desert Storm, visited Missouri, never worked there, was visiting a soldier, I shopped over 125 jobs in that time, nothing, even though I've been a mngr for over 25 yrs.
Wow, it amazes me how many ignorent people there are in this world. To the igno's who made the comments against "not paid", you must work for corporate. I know what she's talking about. Unless you've experienced these A-holes, you really shouldn't comment. I put my heart and soul into this company. Padded the CEO's pocket on our exceptional work. I was there for over 2 years, keep reading/researching this company, they treat their employees like crapola! I was put on leave for over two months. No reason, they kept me on hold, not allowing me to file for unemployment, then I find out from a fellow worker, she heard I was let go. I never got paid and I'm fighting it. Join one of the class action lawsuits against Dollar Tree. One's in Texas, One in Florida and one in California. There's about to be one in Maryland too. So far we have 15 employees that worked during their breaks, lunch and were forced to work off the clock and never got paid. I understand and wish you what you deserve as well as them. Hang on. Be active. Don't quit. Don't let these jerks get you down. What goes around does come around. They will get there just cause. Remember: No weapon formed against me shall prosper.
