Pros

Good benefits, calm atmosphere, good commission and spiffs, clean environment, prompt communication. FANTASTIC hours. We were very well taken care of during the holiday season and because of this, I got to spend Christmas and Thanksgiving with my family, who don't live in the area. Eves of holidays, Von Maur closes at 4 (including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day) and they are always closed on major holidays. No opening at 6pm on Thanksgiving (I'm looking at you, Penney's and Kohl's).

Cons

The traffic is so low at Von Maur that weekdays outside of the holiday season are sometimes so boring it's unbearable. If you're the type that doesn't always need someone telling you what to do, then you can always find things to occupy your time with (contacting clients by phone, cleaning and organizing, product knowledge, etc.). Also, as a pianist, the live musicians they hired at our location were pretty awful to be honest!

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.
