Pros

Free travel before covid happened

Cons

This was the most toxic environment I have ever experienced. It was like a combination of a cult and a prison. The dress code is a joke, pay is awful, there is NO room for advancement, and management is awful. You can only have water at your desk in a clear bottle, I felt like I was in kindergarten. If you express any desire to further your education or career, you will be disliked by management. My coworkers and I were all randomly singled out and yelled at. They say this job is 8-5, but if you actually only work 8-5, they’ll tell you that you don’t care about your job and need to step it up. You have to work free overtime if you want your manager to even somewhat respect you. There’s a reason that buyers here stay for a year to have something on there resume and then leave. I am now working at a large corporation and can say that VM is nothing like real corporate America. Please do your mental health a favor and stay away from this company.

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.
