Pros

Good pay/benefits for a retail job Live piano Schedules are consistently updated 2-3 weeks in advance Store is clean and well-maintained Spacious break room Coworkers were all lovely!

Cons

Dress code is super strict & old-fashioned-- women can't even wear dress pants, only a skirt or dress The CD that plays in place of the live piano is extremely repetitive and never gets updated Attendance/tardy policy is very harsh, especially during probationary period The POS menu and scheduling website are both outdated and convoluted Management does little to deal with "problem customers"-- the policy is to let them walk all over you Some associates get overly competitive with sales/commission Only room for growth is into a Department Manager position, which is much harder and gets rewarded much less; the rest of management is there to stay Certain members of management play favorites with associates and department managers, and are unnecessarily hard on others Some of the rudest and most entitled customers I've ever worked with; the company's policies are overly generous and people take advantage of that The company is extremely conservative overall, which wasn't a good fit for me

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.
