Pros
Off on major holidays, no "holiday hours". Enjoyable customers.
Cons
Females MUST wear pantyhose, skirts & dresses. Males must wear suit and tie. Salary isn't bad for Sales Associates. In smaller stores where foot traffic is minimal, it may be difficult to attain sales goal (which can lead to dismissal) and low commission in some departments. You won't find VM's management style in ANY university course, its a style that they have developed. For people who have a business degree, it's mind boggling!. Most department mgr.s and floor mgr.s are VERY young & inexperienced, not only in business, but in life /people skills. This works for VM because they easily drink the Kool-Aid. Their security and upper management watch employees on selling floor from cameras while customers walk away with the store. You are always afraid that you will do something that mgt. doesn't like, which can be anything. Sometimes it's brought to your attention, if it's not, it's saved for future misconduct reprimands.
