Pros
Great Pay, Nice Atmosphere and Good Benefits, Challenging; you learn how to provide one on one customer service with customers and improve one on one customer relations.
Cons
Dillard's rewards you for being a top seller by giving you a small pay increase usually starts off at about 18% of your previous pay rate and you are expected to sell alot more to maintain this new pay rate. If not, you will get a pay cut which makes it an extremely competitive place to work. Associates stealing other associates' customers, complaining, and whining is commonplace at this store. If you ever go to dillard's and get bombarded by sales associates this is why. No one wants a pay cut. Straight commission or commission + salary would be alot fairer. When the economy went bad last year, alot of associates received pay cuts because business was bad. Dillard's doesn't really care about their employees. Area Store Manager are usually managing two to three departments at a time covering apprx 10-30 associates. They require alot of their area store managers without much reward. I've been associated with Dillard's most of my life as my mom was a manager there for 20 years and I was an associate there for a while. Most ASMs are under alot of constant stress and pressure.
