Pros

Pros are the discount and time and a half on Sunday, but completely not worth putting up with all the cons.

Cons

Management is two-faced and rude, they don't care about any of the employees. They haven't got a clue how to treat people or manage and is evident by the large turnover even by retail standards.They close at 4pm on Christmas Eve but make you work 6 days the 2wks prior to get it. If you have OT on a week you work Sunday, they take the OT out if the Sunday time and a half...that's right VM employees...look at your pay stub!! Or ask one of the Floor Managers and have fun while you listen to them try to explain...but, most likely you'll here that oh so common line they always give when you ask any question..."I'll look into it and get back to you" because they either and most common, don't know the answer to your question, want to tak about it and you to the other FMgrs or the really don't have the authority to answer/handle your question.

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.
