Pros

Good Pay. Easy to grow in the company. Good Benefits ( Sick pay, Vacation pay and Paid Holidays after working for a year at the company) just to name a few. All major holidays the store is closed. Sundays you get time and a half.

Cons

Management is never satisfied. No matter how great your numbers are, if you are there everyday and on time, they still are never satisfied with what you do! They can take all of your pride away in seconds. You eventually just exist and do only what you are suppose to do and nothing extra. Management are the biggest gossips and make fun of the associates behind their backs. The 1 minute and you are late is crazy especially when you live in Atlanta. I live minutes away and sometimes it can take me almost an hour to get to work, because you never know when the police are directing traffic, if 285 has yet another accident, and don't let me start on 400 it is literally a parking lot! They just do not care and will not adjust to their new environment it's their way or no way! When you want to move your company into new territory you need to adjust to the area that you are trying to grow in. They also may have you work 6 days with only 1 day off which you are not told about during your interview. One day it will just pop up on your schedule with no warning! You may work until 10pm and then scheduled to be at work at 7am and expected to be alert! The dress code is a joke hosiery in Atlanta really????? it wouldn't be so bad but in the warm months the store is like a steam room! The management plays favoritism . If they don't like you they will find a reason to let you go or not promote you. They play with people's lives like it's a game.

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.
