Pros

Your coworkers are trapped in the same nightmare so you are not alone. Lot of holidays off.

Cons

I have seen completely unqualified individuals promoted to upper management based on looks and the fact that don't think for themselves. Very discriminatory in promotion practices. Watched as over qualified floor managers were picked apart and demoted because of insecurity in upper management. Favoritism out ranks work ethic and qualifications you are not valued, management bases decisions on feelings and personal biases. I've seen coworkers targeted and picked on because they didn't fit the VonMaur mold. Don't think about using open door policy you might as well resign. Countless employees display high anxiety physical and mental stress due to practices within this company high turn over and dissatisfaction.

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.
