Compass Mobile not working is a common issue reported by many Dollar Tree employees when trying to check their work schedule online. Associates often say the login page loads, but after entering their user ID and password, nothing happens the screen simply refreshes or stays the same.
In most cases, the problem is caused by server downtime, browser compatibility issues, outdated login links, or temporary system maintenance. Since Compass Mobile works through a web browser (not a dedicated app), clearing the cache, switching browsers, using incognito mode, or accessing the correct official login URL usually helps resolve the issue.
If the system is down company-wide, employees may need to wait until Dollar Tree restores service or contact their store manager for assistance.
Don’t worry. This in-depth guide explains why Compass Mobile is not working, what errors employees commonly face, and step-by-step fixes you can try immediately. Everything here is based on real associate experiences and practical solutions that actually work.
Fix Dollar Tree Compass Mobile Not Working Issue (Step-by-Step)
Try these solutions in order. Most employees fix the issue within the first few steps.
1. Confirm You’re Using the Correct Website
Many login problems happen because employees use old bookmarks.
Always use the official Compass Mobile link:
👉 https://compassmobile.dollartree.com
If that page freezes, try the direct login page:
👉 https://compassmobile.dollartree.com/pwm/action/EmpLoginMobile
Using the correct URL fixes the issue in many cases.
2. Check Your Internet Connection
- Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data
- Move to an area with stronger signal
- Avoid public or restricted Wi-Fi networks
Weak or unstable connections often prevent schedules from loading.
3. Clear App Cache and Data
| Device | Steps |
|---|---|
| Android | Settings → Apps → Compass Mobile → Storage → Clear Cache |
| iOS | iOS doesn’t allow cache clearing—reinstall the app |
Clearing cache removes broken sessions that block login.
4. Try a Different Browser or Device
Many login issues are browser-specific.
- Chrome not working? Try Firefox or Safari
- Mobile not working? Try desktop
- App not working? Use browser login instead
Real-world reports show the same credentials often work instantly on another browser.

- Delete the app
- Restart your phone
- Reinstall from the App Store or Google Play Store
This fixes corrupted files and outdated components.
6. Update the App and Your Device
- Install the latest app version
- Update your phone’s operating system
Older OS versions may not support recent app updates properly.

- Use a tablet or computer
Many employees report the app works on another device, confirming the issue is device-specific.
