Pros

This is an absolute horrible company to work for. Google this company. It’s one of the top ten worst companies to work for in the United States (unless you are in the corporate offices in Arkansas.). No big surprise there!

Cons

Where to begin? Let’s start with no benefits for 1+ years. They do provide a health care option but it is ridiculously expensive and has horrible coverage. No paid time off for 1 and 1/2 years. No paid sick time for 1 and 1/2 years. I have heard management say “refuse all requested days off on the monthly schedule. “. No training for new employees. They come and go like it’s a drive thru. Now let’s go to dress code. You must wear dress shoes and stand for 8 hours. Dress shoes are not stand on your feet all day shoes. The company is sooo far behind in tends and what people actually wear in today’s world. This sexist dress code requires men to have very specific work attire while women get away with wearing just about anything. Plan on working every weekend. Just a heads up Sundays you work 6 hours and get NO break. I thought the law required a break after every four hours. Maybe I am wrong ? The hours you work allow for no balance in your life. If you work for Dillards you might as well forget having any social or family life what so ever. Overall it’s just a horribly greedy, uncaring, unfulfilling company. If you look past this review and except the job, you will quickly realize you have sold your soul to the devil.

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.
