Pros

Good commission. Easy. Paid holidays after a year. If you’re full time, you are guaranteed 40 hours a week- you just never know if you’ll close(12-9) and then open(8-5) the next day

Cons

Awful home life balance. Only two full time shifts are available 8-5 and 12-9. The schedule comes out 2 weeks in advance, and you never know what your schedule will look like. Also during the Christmas season you are required to work 6 days a week. 48 hours a week is extremely exhausting and non-negotiable

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.
