Pros

The money! That's what lured me in. Dillard's was the top paying company in my town. I was with the company for two years. I started as a cashier and quickly worked my way up to management. When I became a manager I was making more than my boyfriend who had been a manager in retail for almost five years. If money is important to you, then Dillard's is your spot. Oh, and the employee discounts were great too!

Cons

Gee, everything else just sucked. Ridiculous, never-ending hours especially for managers during holidays and inventory. There was no benefits provided. You'd think if a company expects their managers to work 50-80 hour weeks they would provide medical insurance for them for when they're passing colds to each other. As for the sales associates getting paycuts is just ridiculous. They don't work on commission, but they have sales goals to reach that are just outrageous. Because of these goals all the associates are constantly fighting with each other. Also, with the exception of a few good people, upper management is really snooty. They're good about kissing the right behind especially when the Dillard's visit the stores.

Pros

The employee discount and employee discount days. And special sales they offer for employees only.

Cons

Poor advancement opportunites and promotions for minorities and women. They hire, promote, train according to the "Good Ole Boy's" system. And the vacation time is horrible as well as the insurance benefits. Minorities and women should be given the opportunity to advance with in the corporation.
