Von Maur reviews

I have seen completely unqualified individuals promoted to upper management based on looks and the fact that don't think for themselves. Very discriminatory in promotion practices. Watched as over qualified floor managers were picked apart and demoted because of insecurity in upper management. Favoritism out ranks work ethic and qualifications you are not valued, management bases decisions on feelings and personal biases. I've seen coworkers targeted and picked on because they didn't fit the VonMaur mold. Don't think about using open door policy you might as well resign. Countless employees display high anxiety physical and mental stress due to practices within this company high turn over and dissatisfaction.

I worked at Von Maur for a little over three years, and now that I'm a few months removed I realize how negatively the work environment impacted my mental health. While I do feel that the positions I held were good opportunities to start a career path right out of college, the company's corporate culture is toxic. That's not hyperbole, and I don't use the term lightly - I dealt with anxiety and depression that was a direct result of my employment. I witnessed coworkers experience legitimate medical issues that resulted from inane and archaic policies related to water consumption and dress code. Initially, the dress code and other particularly strict policies didn't bother me much, as many companies have similar rules. The problem lies in how these rules are enforced: it's infantilizing and belittling to employees.
