Pros

fair hourly wage, benefits, 401k, time and a half on sunday, closed holidays with pay.

Cons

One four letter word.....TESS. (The electronic scheduling system). Scheduling was taken away from department managers and turned over to a computer. Shifts are longer...shifts are shorter,and the stretches between days off should be illegal. Some have been up to 11 days straight. You never know when you will be working or for how long. A part time shift can be 7 or 8 days straight, 3 hours. Or just a few days with 8 hours. You can't plan anything, they expect you to put business needs ahead of your own life. Employees are miserable. Most are job hunting.

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.
