Pros

The benefits are nice. Sunday pay, (some) paid holidays, vacation time, etc.

Cons

Management is insensitive and very unsympathetic. HR managers try to keep you in the dark about policies instead of informing associates of things like FMLA. They use your vacation time up without your knowledge or consent (which is apparently legal, but seems unethical). Upper management encourages DM's and Counter managers to blatantly lie to associates. People get promoted based on favoritism rather than how competent they are or how well they do their job. Also, women are required to wear panty hose and skirts/dresses which seems a bit out dated and sexist. You will rarely get positive feed back even when making your sales goal. High turnover in most departments.

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.
