Pros

Pay! Pay! Pay! In one department in the store you get more then 1% commission there is alot of money to be made in that ONE department. The people I worked with were awesome! Made alot very good friends working there. The customers over all were always fair and treated me with respect. Time off is done by who was there the longest so if you held out ,turnover is very high you would soon get to pick whatever days off you wanted. Plus you are promises one weekend off a month most retailers do not offer that.

Cons

No breaks except lunch! I asked about it they replied for me to show them the law that says I get breaks. Strick tarty and absense policies. Always short staffed. other then money no thanks or positive support. tights or panty hoses everyday. They do not actually like their employees they put up with them. They put 20 yr old women in charge of a store but its really controlled in devenport by men who never sold a single thing in their lives. the men that run that place do not even know how to ring up a sale. all they do is come in 2 x a year and see how dirty we are. And make a X on the line when you get terminated. They run you and run you and slam the door on you when they are done! Do not work for this company they will make you feel worthless, stupid, and replacable and thats just the first week! Until they get out of this 1880 additude.... Making women were dresses???? Really!!! Having their employees with 7am til 5, 8am to 5 ,12pm to 9 twice a week and twice a year 5 to 5 with a 30 min break???

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.
