Pros

-The hourly wage plus commission (3% in cosmetics, 10% in shoes, 1% everywhere else) -Elegant atmosphere -Nice coworkers -Closes at 9pm so no late nights -Paid time and a half on Sundays

Cons

-Very slow. There are not enough customers to meet sales goals. Much of the time is spent standing around. You're expected to keep busy and not talk to the other coworkers in your area. -Management watches you from the camera room. -The dress code is very strict and out of date. -TESS, the computer system that makes the schedule. Makes it difficult to discuss your schedule or availability with management because there is not much they can do about it since the computer system makes your schedule. -Hard to get days off when needed. Management will decline your request off and will not discuss with you why. -Management will not work around other schedules in your life such as school schedules, other jobs, or family issues.

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.
