Pros

Always someone new to Brainwash

Cons

-The worst retail company to ever work for, I have worked in the retail industry my whole life and was heavily recruited on campus, to join their team! Was asked to be apart of the EDProgram. -After seeing, listening and hearing all the gossip. I had to go, management will talk about their own employee likes dogs. So unhappy with their lives and their career choice that they make everyone in their store miserable. -Sad thing is they want the employees to the treat their customers like royalty but the management and upper management treats them like S&%#, how does that work?! -Dress code? Only company in the world with such a strict dress code and it is retail? You try to sale trendy fashion but wont even allow your employees to wear half the clothes you sale? How does that work? -Faster than you can say "Jack Rabbit" someone is getting fired, quitting or demoted! How does that work? worked with the company for 6months and saw almost 40 people leave in that time period! -Love the Retail industry, but an awful place to work, horrible! STAY AWAY!

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.
