Pros

I enjoyed the co-workers. Enjoyed many of the customers. Pay was adequate for sales position. Offered insurance time and half pay on Sundays.

Cons

Upper management was totally ridiculous. Calling you in on the carpet like a 3rd grader for reasons that were beyond your control. For instance: slow days with no traffic, (which made for low sales), a customer didnt get quick attention, when only one sales person on the floor per 2 depts. Getting called on the carpet because you asked a question about policy. Only one weekend off a month, 2 nights a week and more. The longer you work there the worse you are treated. Get the feeling they want a turnover to keep payroll low. Not treating all employess equally. Upper management hires and then tells dept. managers to deal with human resources horrible hiring. Dept. managers are held accountable for the poor hiring of the human resources, Allowing new hire's to take time off during blackout dates but employees that have been there for 15 years not allowed. Security watching employees upstairs then making fun and remarks with upper management. Oh yes this does happen!!!!!

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.
