Pros

Descent pay - when you aren't forced to take option time. Option time is "offered" to employees when management views the work flow to be slow. Due to the nature of my position, I had to wear a dress or skirt, tights or hose and dress shoes. During slow time, I was offered to either take option time (time off with no pay) or work in the warehouse - standing for long periods of time, kneeling, bending and lifting heavy bins off of a conveyor belt. We were not allowed to change into jeans like the other warehouse workers. Did meet some very nice people who worked at Von Maur Ecommerce. Not in management, though. Management is not allowed to socialize in any way with non-management workers. No sitting together at lunch. No inviting them to parties or events, no "friending" them on facebook. No contact outside of the work environment or outside of the context of the Manager-Employee model.

Cons

Where do I even start? Breaks were withheld when several people quit Von Maur Ecommerce, leaving the department short handed. Rather than offer overtime, management took away the morning and afternoon breaks until the department caught up on their work load. Ageism was abundantly clear. When I inquired about the management training program, I was told my bachelor's degree was too old. The time clocks were annoying, dress code is ridiculous and the half hour lunch hour did not leave enough time to leave the grounds. Could not have visitors during the lunch half hour either. Very isolated environment. Somewhat like a prison.

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.
