Pros

1. Benefits and the recognition of Holidays are both top notch. Family is first with them, so as long as the Von Maur Family runs the company, I can't imagine them ever opening on Holidays or making employees work till midnight. 2. If a person wants to get on the fast-track with the company, they will move them up the ladder quickly. 3.The store is beautiful and the merchandise is high quality. I was proud to tell people I worked there.

Cons

(Relating to the pros above:) 1. Part time workers are not offered a Benefits Package. Also, there is a one year wait for full time employees. 2. In an effort to push people up the ladder, many managers are far far less knowledgeable about products and merchandise than the employees. That can lead to an uncomfortable environment. 3. There is absolutely no flexibility when it comes to clocking in. If the clock turns to the next minute while you are punching in, you are late. Snow storm, flat tire, sick kid - there are no excuses, and you can get fired for too many lates or earlies.

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.
