Pros

They pay their employees very well, discounts are okay, and coworkers are alright.

Cons

Store and floor management sucks. They are not intelligent, and very cliquey. If you aren't one of them, then you basically don't matter. If you are a store associate, you are fine for the most part. just don't expect to be treated fairly. If you move up, it is basically sink or swim. You don't get adequate training, and you are expected to know everything off the bat. They will call you into their office and talk to you about how much you need to improve, when you have no idea what you are doing anyway because they never train you the right way. They have taken away all of my weekends off because we don't have enough staff to cover over the weekends, yet all the rest of my associates have received their weekends off, along with everyone in upper management. They are also telling me that I cannot take both of my family vacations this summer because they are too close together, and that I have to pick between them, which is borderline ridiculous.

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.
