Pros

you get to travel, some people get lucky with good leaders

Cons

Out of all of my trainee class (I think there was about 30) 50% had quit within the first 6 months. after 2 years, probably 10% are still working there. Those are pretty bad retention rates, and it all stems from false promises, especially for people wanting to take the buyer route. They hold you prisoner at the stores I had a few people do that to me, even though they mention throughout the interview process that it will only take 3-6 months to get to the center. My regional Denae did that to me and was pretty ruthless saying I wouldnt get anywhere with my skills... Well look at me now! I'm a buyer at a company 50x bigger than Von Maur

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.
