Pros

Great pay Benefits 401K Paid vacation if you are full-time Commission 20% discount

Cons

Associates can be "sharks" and steal sales from you Get one customer complaint as a new hire and you get terminated immediately Meet sales goals every month that sometimes are set too high Have to open a credit account for customers at least once a month which is hard now because everyone has one. You can not make friends with co-workers Ladies have to wear skirts and pantyhose Management does not communicate to each other - you often have to repeat stuff to them or they repeat things to you that you already heard from another manager. Management Gets after DMs for not making their goals or if department isn't making goals If DM exceeds their sales goal they get in trouble Associates often cover in other departments they do not feel comfortable in TESS scheduling system can be hard to understand - It makes up the schedule for associates but the store manager has to go in and "fix" them. Schedules associates to work 12 - 9 PM then work 7 AM - 4 or 5 PM the next day Schedules DMs and some associates to work 12 - 9 PM then 5:30 AM to ? on Inventory days which is twice a year.

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.
