Pros

Relationships with vendors Good place to start right out of school? Get promoted quickly and get out!

Cons

Where to begin? Shocked to read so many reviews saying the pay was good.... making $50-$60k as a BUYER (yes, not assistant/associate) is definitely not good. Well below industry and they act like any raise is a gift. Will pile on work load without ever mentioning a raise when you just acquired someone’s job on top of yours. Benefits are also terrible. Vacation time is 10 days, plus you are forced to work in the stores every Saturday thanksgiving to Christmas and Christmas Eve. They give maybe 5 holidays off. Worst company culture I’ve ever seen. They want you to live in fear. Don’t care about any personal time you may need or your life outside of work. They don’t have an HR....That should tell you something. Again, they don’t care. They don’t want feedback and would never ask for it. Don’t recall management talking about reviews (Bc they would never take the time to read and learn) but if they did they would just chalk them up as “disgruntled employees.” Company is run by full Dillard’s family and they are extremely tone-deaf.

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
