Pros

You can transfer and they keep your pay.

Cons

I worked for Dillards as multiple different things I start out as visual then got promoted to ASM (salaried) after 6 months. I loved it until 2020 I got demoted to a BSM (hourly + commission) I was so upset because I worked so hard to be where I was. I moved due to personal reasons and transferred to a different store. I had a family member pass away and was told I could Go to the funeral but I had to come back to work after and I was not allowed to be upset or cry. So I put in my notice. I moved back to where I was before and the store manager from Covid (2020) kept asking me to return I did. But I had to take a lesser position because nothing was open. Which is fair.I was promised to be promoted when a spot opened. A position opened up and I was passed up for someone with no selling experience or managed any one. A year goes by and still nothing. They don’t have an HR They have extreme favoritism

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.
