Pros

Sunday pay Clean stores and some good people working in them Decent benefits Decent base pay for retail workers Quality products to sell

Cons

Horrible Holiday work hours Severely antiquated ideals, beliefs, technologies and mindsets It was more about who you know and how fresh you are in the eyes of management to get a promotion Corporate Management was often called "the good ole boy network" as they all seemed to be friends Jim Von Maur seems to have no real hands in the stores Management tends to be very young and usually attractive people get promoted first The associate was always wrong and customers were always right, even if the associate did everything they could to help, management would turn on the associate Unrealistic goals are consistently set for all employees that aren't in housekeeping

Pros

Employee discount- 20%. Can't find anything else positive!

Cons

1.Schedule is all over the place 2. Have to do truck twice a week with 0 help and just 1 person per dept. 3. Worst benefits EVER, pto given out every quarter which makes it hard to plan any time off.. you get like 20hrs every quarter... 4. Not allowed to take any unpaid time off.. 5. You get points for being late 1 minute, yes 1 minute and you get an tardee.. 6. Wannabe Micromanagers. 7. Managers hired straight out of collage with 0 work experiance who try to tell ppl with 20+ retail experiance how to do their jobs. 8. 0 communication and that is about anything.. if your co worker from your dept. Calls sick that day , you are not told but have to ask yourself when you see that they are not there.. 9. Dress code is a joke. Mr.VonMaur is stuck in the 80s.
