Pros

No micromanagement. You get 20% off of anything at Dillard's.

Cons

No work life balance. Store managers have absolutely no accountability with the way they treat you. You're working with the skeleton Cruise so if you need to call out you don't get paid the first day. They also tend to make you feel bad if you have to call out. Constant talk about you texting your customers having to use your own phone. Constantly trying to have you donate to every other charity.

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
