Pros

Dillards has a great training program and they also have lots of opportunities They also have numerous internships available for either buying or store management if you are a college student. I did an internship with them and was offered a assistant sales area manager and was offered a $37,000 salary. It's a great company to work for if you want to work in retail. I think they care more about their employees versus other retailers. Through my experiences I felt they were the warmest and felt some rudeness from the Macy's crew.

Cons

They are extremely traditional. They do not advertise or have sales frequently.

Pros

I gained good customer service and problem solving experience while working here. You learn how to multitask under pressure. I also gained experience gift wrapping(I found out I enjoy this part of the job a lot), shipping orders, and overall in store functions. I met many supportive and enjoyable coworkers while working here as well as memorable customers.

Cons

The main Cons of working here were: -Chronic understaffing -Too many responsibilities expected from one associate -Feeling unsupported by main management - Hard work and extra effort often goes unrecognized - High stress due to unrealistic workload expectations - Limited opportunities for actual feedback to management to actually improve
