“”I work in the shoe department, which has a quota. We must sell a certain amount per hour, usually between 120-300 dollars an hour. If you do not make that amount you go into ‘Deficit.’ This means you owe money to the company, which means your pay is cut…”
Flatly illegal.

I doubt if that’s true.
You doubt if what’s true?

I guess I wont be needing to go to Dillard’s any time soon.
They could always try Bloomingdale’s executive training program.
When I worked in a shoe store, the goals were tough, I mean really tough.
Each hour, we had to sell 1, 3 or 5 shoes.
Not 1, 3 or 5 pairs of shoes, but 1, 3 or 5 shoes.
Spend most of the day outside the store scooping the mall for one legged folks.
The name of the shoe store was Something is Afoot.
I’m finding some of this a little hard to believe. Sounds like disgruntled employees on display. If it’s so bad go work elsewhere.
Sounds like it’s time to seek other employment.
“Not a teamwork atmosphere at all. A lot of gossiping goes on in different departments and co-workers are very aggressive.......”
hell that sounds like every job I ever had!
Odd...a retail store selling product.
What’s the world coming to?
Yep, especially large companies.
I have worked for companies that had 500-1000 employees at a single location and the rumor mills and gossip mongers are in hog heaven...............
My wife worked at Dillard’s and hated it along with most of her co-workers. She moved to Penney’s which she said was a much better place to work.
“If you do not make that amount you go into ‘Deficit.’ This means you owe money to the company, which means your pay is cut to meet this.”
#1 reason NOT to work or go there. Never heard of the place.
LOLMAO!
Best laugh of the day!
Our Dillard’s is closing within the next month. Most of its inventory was gone on Saturday and the little that was left was stuff no one wants to buy. That will be the last ‘anchor’ store to go in our formerly huge mall. Most all that’s left is small retail locally owned stores, and when their leases are up, our once beloved mall will be history......... ................
It is an ‘upscale’ department store that caters mostly to middle-aged overweight women with money......................
“...middle-aged overweight women...”
Good grief!
Dillard’s opened a new store in our area about a year ago. Made my first visit to the store a few weeks back to take advantage of a 20% discount they were offering current & former military, police officers, first responders, etc..
This store devotes a great deal of their floor space to women’s apparel, cosmetics, and a relatively small area to men’s apparel. The 20% off applied to all items whether they were already discounted ... so it was a good sale. The quality of their items is generally excellent .. so came away with a good impression of the store. Can’t speak to employee issues ... however, the store was understaffed.
