Pros

Enjoyed the merchandise, consistent with rules, good hours for retail, closed holidays and paid holidays plus PTO and sick time. Management will generally listen to you and thats about it. Easy to move up if you are motivated

Cons

Generally young out of college management that have never worked in retail that could use mentoring with a more senior store manager. Have less department managers as the store all seem very top heavy and the DMs are essentially glorified sales associates who don't get commission. Need to update policies as some seem outdated.

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.
