Von Maur reviews

Horrible, incompetent, bullies for managers & supervisors! They lie to your face, steal your sales, work you to death, and watch your every move to criticize you! It’s like a weird prison that’s a store! HR is a complete joke there- no clue what they’re doing! Very “clickish” group in charge that cover for each other. Total gas- lighting mind games!

It's been about 6 months since I quit, so I feel like I have enough hindsight to write a fair and mostly unbiased review. Von Maur is like a very fancy prison for its employees. From the strict dress code, to the long hours without breaks, to the overhead surveillance of employees, it's difficult to not feel trapped (not to mention, hearing the same recorded piano tracks 4 times a day, every day, feels like psychological warfare). There are other ridiculous rules and procedures, like having add people to customer binder (I forgot what it's called) even if the store is always dead and no one is interested in being added to your stupid book. You will get fired for excessive tardies, and by that, I mean if you live in a part of the country that regularly experiences snowstorms and your car doesn't start or if you are unable find a safe route to work, TOO BAD. I often drove with excessive speed or without regards to my personal safety out of fear of being fired. That is not okay. Also, the commission procedure is unfair. Working full-time and consistently meeting rather unobtainable sales goals, I made less in commission than others who worked part-time in more "lucrative" departments. I could go on. And on. And on. Since I left my job, I have not given Von Maur any business. I don't support companies that treat employees unfairly.
