Pros

Decent pay, especially for a retail employer. You get major holidays off.

Cons

The dress code is from the 1950s. A lot of management has no idea what they're doing and are untrained/incompetent. There is a high turnover rate and the work can be very stressful. Managers do not protect you from rude customers, even if they are being openly racist toward you. While some coworkers are great, there is a general level of cattiness in certain departments. Extreme lack of diversity. Sales commission is pretty small (10% for part time, 20% full) and discount is also fairly small (10% part time).

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.
