Pros
Never there past 10pm, time and 1/2 on Sundays, two weekends off a month if you're full time and have been there over a year, good benefits, paid holidays. My store: one amazing Executive Manager.
Cons
Outdated technology. Hire a professional IT company and stop trying to do it in house. Seriously, they are offline all the time. Also, did the Von Maurs buy an IBM factory back in the 70s? How do they have so many of these outdated registers? Only two handheld scanners for the entire store? Executive managers not having e-mail or computers? Also, if you're going to work for Von Maur, remember these guidelines: Don't have a normal human personality (they call us Von Martians for a reason.) Don't disagree with anything that management says. In fact, just don't have any opinions. Don't talk about your "real life" Smile, nod, keep your head down, and don't let them see the whites of your eyes.
