Pros

The aren't very many pros to working at this company. About the only pro is the wide variety of benefits they offer

Cons

Always slow, the company has too many strict rules, have to request off 2 months in advance for more than one day off at a time, if you request a day off and didn't give them 6 week notice for it they will deny it, I saw people get fired for the littlest things. They say that they care most about their employees, this is a lie, their customer is always prioritized and they don't care about your well being. They advertise that you get pay and a half on Sundays which seems nice, but in reality if you work a Sunday that week, you'll get less hours during the week to make up for the time and a half that they are paying you. Loss prevention basically acts as a manager, you cannot have friends or family visit you. My friend came in to visit me, there was no one in my department and I was still watching, everything was clean and organized and after about 5 minutes of my friend being there LP called and said that I'm not paid to stand around and do nothing and he was timing my conversation and that my friend needed to leave. The company says they focus on their employees and that is the total opposite.

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.
