Pros

It's hard to think of any "pros" that Con Maur has. I guess you could consider a 20% discount a pro? But that's it.

Cons

Bad benefits, PTO is awful, and the amount of bereavement they so graciously give you for an immediate family member is just sad, considering they pride themselves on being a family-friendly company. Extremely strict upper management. I remember the VP of Stores heard I got a dog and told me that I can't be leaving on my UNPAID lunch break to take the dog out. As an "executive," I was underpaid and overworked. They try to trick young college graduates to join their Executive Trainee Program and expect them to commit their life to Con Maur. As an executive, I was instructed to watch certain employees for stealing. Oh and if you say a curse word on the clock you're FIRED. All around just an awful, toxic work environment that has nothing to offer its employees other than pure misery, low pay, and bad benefits.

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.
