Pros

The way is good for retail. $10/hr, time and a half on sundays, and commition. Most associates are friendly and understanding. Management does try to help out in scheduling conflicts.

Cons

Management is very clique-y. Will take the customers side on an argument over the employee every time. There are many responsibilities; writing hand written thank you notes to customers, opening Von Maur Charge accounts, cleaning, keeping a book of returning customers, and also Merchandise Requests for any customers who actually want the merchandise, or just want to take advantage of the offer. These things would be reasonable, if Management would take the time to allow you to accomplish them. Staff is unreliable, always calling off sick or leaving early. Management will tell you one thing, then do the other. Customers are extremely demanding and inconsiderate. Will cut some employees a lot of slack and come down hard on others; seems biased.

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.
