Pros

Great employees, good compensation, beautiful environment, holiday hours can NOT be beat, time and a half on Sunday.

Cons

Complete double standards; if they think you are a "golden child" you can get away with anything. If you make too high of a salary they will use any reason to get you out. We have, and still are, loosing so many great employees that it's crazy. The job market is bad, but not at VM because all the good employees are leaving and finding great positions elsewhere. One person covering 3 departments is insane, and we are still expected to clean up all departments and leave it beautiful for the morning crew. Management changes expectations at the drop of a hat, just so they can write you up, and force you out. Management spends more time talking to eachother, and playing around, then helping on the sales floor. No training for floor managers, or department managers; they are just expected to learn on the fly. They only promote people that have the Von Maur "look"; most floor managers, and store managers are in their 20's. Everything is scripted with management.

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.
