Pros

They don;t do background checks, so i guess if your like a felon or something theyl'll probably hire you.. though i wasn't and they paid higher than allot of other places. Catching people who would steal lol you don't get any reward or anything but its just funny hearing these crazy stories from shoplifters trying to talk their way out of trouble.

Cons

Getting people to open Dillards cards is a pain! Mgmt. pushes you to do it, trying to be nice about it at first but if you don't they make you go to these Sunday classes early in the morning that teach ways to get people to open an account. The thing is though that most of these people don't to open it cause of the high intrest. As well as the fact that i worked in the Juniors Depatment, so most of my customers couldn't open one if they wanted to. It was kind of boring, weekdays went by slow but weekends sped by because it was busy...keeping track of all the people who try and steal was a pain sometimes.

Pros

Only pro is that you can expect there won't be any. So, transparency.

Cons

Annual raises for salaried employees are minimal, often only 100–500 dollars per year, regardless of performance or inflation. Salaried roles are consistently compensated below industry standards for comparable positions. Management routinely solicits employee input and feedback, then consistently ignores it, making requests for opinions feel performative rather than genuine. Excessive favoritism is openly displayed, accompanied by constant gossip, drama, and office politics that undermine professionalism and team cohesion. Leadership culture normalizes poor treatment by implying that if everyone is miserable together, the situation is acceptable. The company shows little concern for employee health and safety, pressuring staff to work in unsafe conditions because “it was done before.” Employees who raise workplace health concerns or request alternate work arrangements for health reasons are consistently penalized rather than supported, effectively forcing them to choose between their health and their job. The building was shot at, and management waited several hours to inform employees and refused to let anyone go home, demonstrating a disregard for basic safety and crisis response expectations. Any non-vacation time off, including sick time, medical appointments, and other approved leave, can be held against employees and negatively affect promotions, raises, and recognition. Promotions and raises are often denied based on incomplete or misleading assessments of performance, while significant individual contributions and permanent fixes to long-standing issues go unrecognized. External or third-party training and professional development are not supported and, in some cases, are actively discouraged. Execs are only concerned about profits and never employee well being, morale, or happiness.
