Pros

Discount is a great pro, especially on double discount days. Your co-workers are great, with any place there is drama so you just have to weed out the bad ones. Starting pay is pretty good compared to most retailers.

Cons

Sale Quota's are like EVERYTHING at Dillard's, Managers are always on your case about your quota whether or not you are doing good or bad. Some quota's are almost impossible to reach if its a slow day or if you have a customer that is willing to buy everything you have. Higher Management offers false promises. One day they tell you , you'll be moved to this and the next day "your quota card isn't exactly where it should be at". Some parts of management doesn't care whether you like your position or not if you want to be moved up and the position isn't something you want you are liked forced to take it. If not, you will never be moved up for a long time. If Dillard's is not your priority don't even bother working here, if you have kids or other obligations that are more of a priority then forget about it! They work you long hours , that are like crazy unrealistic. Sometimes management tries to make you take a 30 minute break instead of an hour due to how hectic it is on the sales floor, even though you are there for like 10 hours. When there is a corporate visit, everyone acts fake and tries to be friendly. There is no care for employees once so ever unless you are a favorite. TO MUCH FAVORITISM. If your quota card is falling behind drastically, they will pull you in the office and tell you that you have 30 days to make some improvement if not you are gone!

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
