Sales Associate - Anonymous employee Von Maur Employee Review

Customers MAJORLY ABUSE the return policy and Von Maur allows it, racist and sexist company, absolutely blatant favorites that management had (if you drank and partied a lot or had been with the store for a long time you were a favorite of the management team. How fake the staff is very creepy, staff act like robots with no personality and working there I felt as if I lost my personality. They try to form you into a “stepford wives” persona almost. This company is extremely racist. I work with this company for almost two years and there was not a single black person employed during this time. I find it hard to believe that the amount of black individuals who applied for a general sales associate position were lacking of the experience...(no experience is needed). Also witnessed countless times when black individuals would walk into the store and would be harassed and stalked by sales associates because the customer “looked suspicious.” Associates would even alert the loss prevention manager to make sure the “cameras were facing the suspicious customers.” I have many stories where I have experience racism in the location I worked which played a huge role in my decision to look for employment elsewhere. The company is also sexist. The only men that are generally hired are white, flamboyant men. We only had a total of 2 men employed during my time of employment. Women are not allowed to wear pants. Which is extremely sexist. Men can only wear full suits. Sexist. Personally, I was turned off by the company. I have several other negative experiences which I do not care to mention.
