Pros

As someone with 20 years retail experience-No Pros. There are too many other retail jobs out there that would be more beneficial to anyone's career.

Cons

Too many cons to list. Just read all the reviews-they give an accurate portrayal of this company. If you want to feel like you are going off to prison everyday--not to a professional position in a respectable company--don't say you haven't been warned. You are on video at all times--so don't take one minute more than you need to to use the restroom. You are always being watched to see if you make a mistake of any kind so they can use any little thing against you to write you up. They will take sides with pscho customers rather than adhere to their own policies. Unreachable sales expectations. TESS. Two-faced management that sit in the breakroom and talk about everyone behind their backs.

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.
