Pros

They don;t do background checks, so i guess if your like a felon or something theyl'll probably hire you.. though i wasn't and they paid higher than allot of other places. Catching people who would steal lol you don't get any reward or anything but its just funny hearing these crazy stories from shoplifters trying to talk their way out of trouble.

Cons

Getting people to open Dillards cards is a pain! Mgmt. pushes you to do it, trying to be nice about it at first but if you don't they make you go to these Sunday classes early in the morning that teach ways to get people to open an account. The thing is though that most of these people don't to open it cause of the high intrest. As well as the fact that i worked in the Juniors Depatment, so most of my customers couldn't open one if they wanted to. It was kind of boring, weekdays went by slow but weekends sped by because it was busy...keeping track of all the people who try and steal was a pain sometimes.

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
