Pros

The people I worked with on the floor.

Cons

I worked for Von Maur for 11 years. I had a position in a department I loved. We got a new store manger who was young and thought she needed to let people know who was boss. I was told basicly that I needed to be more of a "B". When I didn't lower myself to her level she began writing me up for anything she could think of. Then I was pulled in the office by her and my floor Manger and was told I was no longer going to work in my department. My floor manager gave me 3 choices of what departments I could work in and the store manager told me I could leave the company if I wanted to. I can to work and worked hard every day. It was very insulating to have some who had not worked for the company for that long to say that me. There were a lot of situations where comments were made to me that I should of probably contacted Human Resources at corporate about. I know it has happened to others too. As soon as I could find another job I was out of there. I feel badly for the people the people I let behind. They were great to work with .

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.
