Pros

They offer benefits, if your a people person then its a good fit because I met so many nice people.

Cons

Management does not have a clue as to how to treat the employees. If you have a request your ignored until they are ready to move on it. The turnover says it all. People would stay if it were a fair and friendly environment. I read reveiws before I started work there and they only prove to be true, what a shame. I do not see myself desiring a long term career within a place that is so scripted. And all it takes is one grouchy person to come into the store and have an emotional upset then just balme it on an associate. All I can say is know yourself , and if you do an exceptional job then you can walk away from this with your head held high no matter what MGT says or how bad they choose to kiss up to the customer. I would guess that Von Has lost some really great employees due to this. Where are the customer satisfaction cards for customers to fill out ??? How hard was that to think of. I feel that Von Maur is just flat desperate and must kiss up to customers keep the stores running . They know they can always push another training sesssion through in a day, so therefore the employee is dispensable. What a shame!!!

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.
