Pros

Beautiful store, pay not bad, no holidays and time in a half for Sundays!

Cons

Upper management is under 23, single white females with NO retail experience!!! It's almost as if corp. wants Stedford wives that they can mold! (To fit into their cult) They talk down to you as if your special needs, even though you have 20 years retail experience. They are not open to any ideas, suggestions or your opinion at all. When you do try to give your opinion, they look at you like a deer in the head lights. CLUELESS!!!! Whatever you do don't be one min late or you'll get canned! Well unless they like you and your a top sales producer in your department. During my time at Von Maur I saw so many awesome people get let go or just quit, cause they couldn't take it. Management could careless, everyone is replaceable. Our floor manager had Zero people skills, but that's what to expect from a dingbat 22-year-old! Again that's what Von Maur wants! God forbid you actually have intelligent people with retail experience, HR experience and professionalism.

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.
