Pros

A small paycheck and exercise from being on your feet all day

Cons

In case Dillard's hasn't been made aware of this, we are in the middle of a serious pandemic. Yet stores are still open and employees are told not to wear masks or gloves because it will scare customers. Employees and customers have raised concerns, but instead of listening and working on a solution outside of "take your vacation time or don't come in if you're uncomfortable", they've disabled the comments section on their Instagram page and are seeing this pandemic as a business opportunity while other department stores like Belk and Nordstrom are closed. DISGUSTING and a massive reflection that you don't care about your employees. FYI Dillard's, department stores are NOT essential businesses and it is appalling that you see this as an opportunity to beat your competitors. Absolutely shameful.

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
