Pros

The best part about working at Dillards, Hands down, is the gratis, discount and all the free stuff i got from being a top credit earner and cosmetics associate collectively i got over three thosand dollars worth of gratis(makeup, perfume dillards bucks) during my 6 months of being there. The second pro was getting to play in makeup all day. The hours were just perfect for a part time position 28 hours a week.

Cons

The goals were insanely ridiculous for the cosmetic line I worked for. I was expected to sale 300 to 400 dollars daily, being that I worked at a dead end mall that was impossible. If you dont make you quota the first 6 months of being there your most likely be fired, Infact they hire in groups and fire in groups (10-15) people at a time, your replacement will probably be working with you right before your fired. They are very sneaky and dont let employees know whats really going on. I can go on, but the most important thing i will tell someone working in the tulsa area is if you start off at 12 theyll drop you for not meeting quota but if you start at 12.50 or more you will just get a pay cut. good luck

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.
