Pros

The discount is very inticing, and with sales you can outfit yourself or your home for a small sum. They do offer extra discount days to employees fairly regularly.

Cons

Limitations of salary increases and ineffective management. Upper management who never speaks or even looks at you in passing but dosen't hesitate to scream at you if there's a problem. It's also difficult to not spend all your salary at Dillards, some pressure from dept. heads to help them "make their day" in sales.

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
