Pros

Time and 1/2 on Sundays, Closed on major holidays.

Cons

The numbers for the year are down and it certainly shows. Two weekends off a month was presented as a great new benefit. In reality it is helping them not pay out as much time and a half on Sundays. No more overtime even though people are still covering all over and often more than one dept. VM needs to decide who they are. When most of your customers are in on Wed to check if what sale item bought last week went on sale, that's a problem. Are the Von Maurs even aware that most of their customers are sale shoppers and ONLY sale shoppers. It's also highly demoralizing to take back any and everything. Dirty, ripped, smelly - no problem. Lie to us or not, well take it back, with a smile. You've made me hate this place with your ridiculous return policy! No wonder our clientele has drastically changed. No judgement, but we're now getting the Kmart people that lie about their returns and steal ( to return cause we'll take that back too). So is that who we are? Bargain basement or do you want to be thought of as another Nordstrom again ? You've taught the public how to treat you. And I hope you'll remember this when you're sitting around trying to figure out how you ran your company into the ground.

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.
