Pros

Store Hours Great Co-workers Time and a Half on Sundays Clean shopping environment Closed on Major Holidays Decent Compensation and Benefits

Cons

Incompetent Store Management!!!! Too Many Double Standards! Covering other Departments due to poor scheduling Department managers unable to actually manage their departments because of the weird management structure that this company has People getting promoted with little management experience instead of merit Management was NEVER satisfied!!! I consistently ran double digit increases over last year figures and it was never enough! It always seemed like management focused on the negative instead of the positive. Outdated technology A ridiculous and old fashioned dress code I could not believe that this company actually thinks that they are on the same level as Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus! They are not!!!!

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.
