Pros
I think seeing the product before it hits the stores was the only cool thing about the job.
Cons
The Fort Worth buying office for Dillard's treats their employees terribly! Especially the online division! No sick time, no family time, you have set hours of 8:30-6, but are frowned upon if you don't come in early and stay late. They basically want you to live there and have no life. You would buy 6 months in advance for online, yet have to work black friday, christmas, and new years, with absolutely nothing to do. Your "buyers & managers" don't teach you anything to advance and get promoted. The employee turnover was rediculous. They were constantly rearranging departments. Always changing database and ordering software. Job roles were constantly changing. You basically had no idea what was going on or what to do. Complete and utter chaos!
