Pros

The stores were beautiful, and merchandise very well, overall the associates were great, just most of them were afraid of the store manager, since she was a witch.

Cons

The lack of accountability, since the company has no human resources that you can go and voice your concerns with with upper management, and the district manager was afraid for her job and would do nothing if you had a complaint.

Pros

Others believe this is a con, however, Dillard's will take care of you if you take care of them. You need to earn your promotion, raise, etc. Nothing is handed to you. Everyone has the ability to work their way up if you put in the time and effort and you produce results.

Cons

*In some ways the good ole' boy network is still alive and well. *Spend more money on tech development *Use a more positive language to support "one team" and show value to all employees vs negative verbage to produce. *Vacation time is lacking. 2 weeks a yr up to 10 years of employment. 3wks yr after 10. 4 wks after 20. Allow your team to re-energize themselves. For the amount of time that salaried employees put in and doing what is expected of them, there needs to be more of a work/life balance. *Better benefits

Pros

Discounts are awesome! That was pretty much the only pro of working for the company. Other wise it's completely bogus

Cons

Working for a dishonest person was my con. She would steal all of the time. Also management did not show they cared for their hard working team! ASM gossips too much! Starting problems between employees
