Pros

If you are desperate for a job it's easy to get hired.

Cons

Well it's retail, so basically you get all the downsides of working in retail. I apologize if this review is not helpful but I have to post a review in order to review this site. Dillards is like most retail stores. Inconsistent schedules, they push you to get people to sign up for credit cards and you have to meet sales goals; which isn't necessarily a Con if you like selling stuff.

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
