Pros

-Okay pay -Paid holidays -No black Friday deals

Cons

Management is terrible. When they give you a bad employee and that person does not perform, it falls on you and no matter what you say, it's still your fault they aren't doing better. There are secret shoppers doing reports on you, and if you get a bad one you are screwed. Floor managers and store managers have favorites in the company. I know of someone who had 22 tardies in the first 90 days and it didn't matter because the store manager liked them. Upper management is very unprofessional, talks about people behind their backs. The morale of most stores is so low because management does nothing and just doesnt care about people.

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.
