Pros

A paycheck. They have air conditioning. That's about it.

Cons

Dillard's corporate is a horrible place to work. The management could not gave a whit about the employees. Profits are everything and the only thing. They will sell out to the devil to earn a quick buck. Management kisses the Dillard's family's behind at every opportunity. They are all powerful and everyone knows it. They rule with an iron fist. The only way to advance is to kiss butt and destroy those in your way. You can't just do a good job and be promoted. They are antiquated in so many technologies and methodologies it impossible to know where to begin.

Pros

Opportunity for quarterly pay increases, by meeting--exceeding sales quotas. Most employees stay on board long-term. I personally stayed at Dillard's for 5+ years. Fortunately, Dillard's transfers employees (factoring job openings). I successfully transferred twice, due to moving to different states and cities.

Cons

If you are not meeting sales goals (quotas), Dillard's cannot approve an employee transfer. I enjoyed the task work, expected markdowns, and merchandising, but many employees would slack off on their department duties, stealing sales, while the hard-working, dedicated employees would be doing the expected duties to maintain department standards. I personally did not let this affect me, but the system rewards employees who sell by giving them a pay increase every 3 months if they exceed sales quotas for the period. If you are BELOW quota, you will receive a pay decrease.
