Pros
Pay is very good for retail, co-workers are terrific. Stores are clean and modern. Customers are 95% very nice to assist. Quality of products sold is great.
Cons
TESS - scheduling is awful, management won't work with you for time off for family needs. Get rid of TESS, bring back the humans. 3 hours shifts are terrible when you drive for 40 minutes one way to get to work. Working more closes than other associates is not fair, especially the Saturday night ones, after you have worked 3 during the week because being a part-time nights and weekends associate. What happened to being able to be at a "heroics" once a month rule for parttime? Dept managers promoted who shouldn't be promoted. Only allowing associates to move to another dept when it "works" for Von Maur, not the associate. Being watched by security all the time, retail theft is a problem, but come on not all associates are "thiefs".
