Good Money

Sales Associate (Current Employee)

I have been working at Dillard's part-time for less than a year

ProsStart out with a high pay, discount on clerance, fashionable, gives you thick skin

Consvery strange hours (like 4 hour shifts) very competitive, if you dont make your sales goals you won't have a job, managers will discuss issues about employees with other employees, must get credit apps, to have a weekend off you have got to work dang near 2weeks straight, very territorial, people dont want you to learn so you won't be ahead of them

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

good to place to work

Women Shoes Sales Associate (Current Employee)
Stockton, CA (US)

I have been working at Dillard's full-time for more than a year

Prosyou can make pretty good money from the monthly commission. And the company is willing to work with your availability.

Consyour job is based off your sales first and for most. you can be great at working fast and efficient but if you can sell you will not make it here.

Advice to Senior ManagementMake sure to pay attention to what individuals are doing in your department cause laziness is a disease and it spreads.
