Pros

Co-workers become great friends. Great place to shop.

Cons

Terrible hours, terrible scheduling. Our store is so understaffed we have an employee referral contest where its double the money. But if I have working there so much I'm not going to advise anyone else to waste their time. I get no time to spend with my family. To much favoritism shown between employees and management. Management is too young to really know what's going on. They have us enforce store policy but when a customer request to speak to a manger about something, then all of a sudden the policy doesn't exist. A particular store manager walks the floor and speaks to people in certain departments and not in others. SERIOUSLY, I shouldn't have to FORCE a member of management to speak to me!! They call themselves professional. Some employees get written up for tardies, other don't.If I would've known that they don't too much care for employees with children, I would have definitely passed up this "opportunity" Needless to say I'm on the job hunt again.

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.
