Pros

Time and a half on Sundays Good benefits package Worked with some great people and had some great clients!

Cons

Don't respect/ value good employees. One dept manager gave notice she was leaving and after offering her more money to stay, they terminated her and sent her home. Not smart when entering the busy holiday season. Hourly pay is not consistent!!! I'd read other reviews that hrly pay is $10.50 to $11.50 per hr, and that pay was not negotiable. I was hired at $9.50 per hour with retail management experience. Other sales associates make varying amounts, and dept manager hrly rates vary as well. Management doesn't deal with problem people. Management is very young/passive and inexperienced. One associate paged a manager to tell her that someone had been shoplifting. Management's response was "Can't catch them all." What's the point of having loss prevention if they aren't going to actually confront those that are stealing? There are cameras everywhere but LP can never be located when they are needed. Too competitive with very little incentive (1% commission) Goals are too high; cannot meet sales numbers when depts are over scheduled Tess scheduling system does not meet needs of individual departments Women required to wear skirts and hose

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.
