Pros

You get a nice discount on everything, and Sundays are paid time and a half. Most major holidays, the store is closed, so people can spend time with their loved ones. The people there are super warm and welcoming, and it's easy to feel comfortable. Based off what I've seen, if you work hard, you can get promoted incredibly quick.

Cons

As with most retail, hours aren't great, and you can only take off one weekend a month. They value coverage, so there are times where there are too many people on the floor and not enough stuff to do. Management doesn't dictate, and I feel like they could be more straightforward. In my personal opinion, pay is low for what's supposed to be a higher-end department store; department managers barely get paid more than associates. Biggest gripe is definitely the fact that EVERYTHING about the store is outdated. Systems, policies, dress code, and just the overall look of the store all haven't changed in about 100 years.

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.
