Pros

It is a small company and senior sanagement is accessible. The buying position encompases both the buying and planning functions, so there is a great sense of ownership over the business you run. Store visits are frequently requested, so that you have the ability to see your product as well as build a relationship with the people who sell it.

Cons

There is no set training, and no training classes are offered on a regular basis. There is no sense of community within Dillards, and Dillard's doesn't support any personal development for it's employees. Dillard's doesn't have an education reimbursement program. Dillard's has a low pay rate, and poor benifits. They have necessary store visits once per month, and every Saturday durring the Holiday season, and no Holiday bonus is given.

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
