Pros

Lots of latitude in the IT department and very little red tape.

Cons

It would take a lifetime to list the cons. The 2nd generation namesakes are garbage human beings, and have secured their spots in hell. The world will be a better place when they’re gone. I pity the poor people that work in the stores. Corporate life is bad enough, but Dillards perpetually works toward phasing their high performers out to hire cheaper associates. They simply have no concept of humanity, and it’s abundantly evident on the retail floors. If you’re thinking of working for Dillards, it breaks my heart. You’d have to be in a very tight spot to consider this place. There are 30K+ employees and NO HR DEPT. It’s as close to a privately owned publicly traded company as I’ve ever seen. They are Luddites and dictators.

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
