Pros – Not a lot of interference from managers in my case. Plenty of time to work by yourself or to talk to co workers if you prefer.

Former Employee – worked at Dillard's part-time for less than a year

Pros – You get 50% off merchandise upon hiring. The pay is better than most other retail stores. The customers are classier than other retail stores. It's not a junk store; the merchandise is nice and is nicely displayed. Closing duties are minimal.

Cons – Managament is awful. There is a lot of waste in time inefficiency and other materials wastes. Sometimes the sales quotas are unrealistic. Not much room for promotion. The Christmas parties suck now that anyone is allowed to attend and not just VIP members.

Advice to Senior Management – Clean your act up. Pay attention to what is happening around you.

Current Employee – been working at Dillard's full-time for more than a year

Pros – They do start off pay at a higher pay than other stores

Cons – They constantly promise promotions and pay raises and then pass on them. They expect you to great and assist every customer but at the same time you are expected to do your own merchandising, markdowns, departmental moves and clean up after all the customers.

Advice to Senior Management – Make the sales goals reachable and change them depending on the time of year and the economy, employees can not make an SPH of 135 when only 5 customers a day enter the store.

Former Employee – worked at Dillard's full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Room for growth, benefits and pay was great, management trusted in and relied in strong associates...customers were great and loyal
