At a time when getting enough labor is an issue, Dollar Tree is hosting an in-person hiring event on Saturday, August 14 at all of its 26 distribution centers in the United States.
To encourage prospective employees, Dollar Tree has made most hourly-paid distribution center associates hired through September 4 eligible for a sign-on bonus and incentive pay where applicable. The company is offering a $1,000 signing bonus, and positions offered include management, as well as full- and part-time order fillers, equipment operators, maintenance technicians, and warehouse associates. The Rosenburg, TX, DC is not part of the signing bonus program.
In another move to support employees and make working for the company more attractive, Dollar Tree recently launched ValuED, its education assistance program, one that provides associates with financial support and offers a wide range of development opportunities to promote upward mobility within the organization. Full-time associates can receive tuition discounts and reimbursement allowances for college degrees and GED programs as well as language courses.
“We are seeking hardworking and dependable men and women for immediate opportunities on our warehouse team in a fast-paced, automated distribution network servicing Dollar Tree and Family Dollar stores across the country,” Michael Lech, Dollar Tree chief logistics officer, said in announcing the hiring event. “Along with flexible work schedules and competitive pay, our company provides one of the best warehouse benefits packages in the industry, including tuition reimbursement for full-time associates. We are focused on our associates’ safety, as well as ongoing training and development, and we have numerous opportunities for career growth within the organization.”
