Pros

Pay is good. Time and a half on Sunday's. That's about it.

Cons

What is wrong with this company? Desperately needs to get out of a 1950's mindset. The dress code is SO sexist it's insane. Zero compensation is given for all the money spent on accommodating to their ridiculous dress code. Management is literally DELUSIONAL. Extremely inexperienced. My store manager was about 30 something and BLONDE. Of course. Literally a Stepford wife. If you take a job with this company, BEWARE of your "managers" smiling face because they will stab you in the back. My floor manager was in his early twenties and was definitely straight out of college with no real life experience. When they train you, they do NOT inform you that you WILL be fired if you do not meet the sales goal. Who do they think they are? Neiman Marcus? Saks Fifth Avenue? The sales goal is so utterly unrealistic it's laughable. The store is DEAD. Nobody shops at this place & they have a sales goal equal to the sales goal of a busy Macy's or Nordstrom. BUT Macy's or Nordstrom won't fire you if you don't meet their sales goal. Von Maur will. The floor manager literally told me that I slouch over the counter too much. That was one of his critiques. Really? How pathetic is that? QUIT MICRO MANAGING. Favoritism at Von Maur is at an extreme high and if you meet their goal they don't care about your other unethical wrong doings. Von Maur breeds dishonest employees that quickly lose all of their morals. Von Maur loves when you aggressively step over other employees to meet YOUR goal. Management WILL spy on you with Loss Prevention. Avoid this place at ALL COSTS! Cannot stress that enough.

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.
