I'm so excited!!! I am giving my 2 week's notice to Dillard's today! The Steinmart store and work environment are SO much better! I can even wear summer clothes to work now & not stuffy jackets with pants that I burn up in!

Happy Dancing going on here!

As a store, I *love* Steinmart! I hope your hours will be more compatible to a life outside the job, too. Congrats!

Gee, we're so deprived up here - KK only arriving recently, Cracker Barrels few and far between, no Dillards and no Steinmart.

I'm excited for you, Kat! Congratulations.....

Sounds like a good move, Kat! Good luck with the new job and working environment.


We don't have either store here in NY. But I do try to hit them when I go out of state.

Thanks you guys!! Patty, I feel like a little piggy! No workouts these days - meetings ALL the time at the Realtors Assoc. so I have to get up early for them & not my workouts! Hopefully, I will be able to have a better schedule for everything soon with this job change. I don't get home from Dillard's until at least 9:30 p.m. but with Steinmart being near my home & getting out of there faster, I should be home by 9:10 each night. Their attendance policies, dress codes, scheduling, no sales quotas (i.e. no paycuts) translate into a less stressed Kat! I had to have a doctor's hand signed note if I missed work at Dillard's (not that I missed that much, but yeah, it will happen sometimes!) or they would fire me. They weren't willing to work with people's schedules at all over at Dillard's but I have been assured they do at Steinmart. Plus, the store is gorgeous! Clean & sparkling in every way! No more stained & moldy Dillard's carpet to look at and sneeze from anymore!

Congrats!!! Can I say I've DETESTED wearing jackets, always like a straight-jacket, and the jobs I had in banking always required them--so glad you got a job with a more fun/relaxed dress code.
