Pros

Good benefits, calm atmosphere, good commission and spiffs, clean environment, prompt communication. FANTASTIC hours. We were very well taken care of during the holiday season and because of this, I got to spend Christmas and Thanksgiving with my family, who don't live in the area. Eves of holidays, Von Maur closes at 4 (including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day) and they are always closed on major holidays. No opening at 6pm on Thanksgiving (I'm looking at you, Penney's and Kohl's).

Cons

The traffic is so low at Von Maur that weekdays outside of the holiday season are sometimes so boring it's unbearable. If you're the type that doesn't always need someone telling you what to do, then you can always find things to occupy your time with (contacting clients by phone, cleaning and organizing, product knowledge, etc.). Also, as a pianist, the live musicians they hired at our location were pretty awful to be honest!

Pros

Internal advancement and unlimited growth opportunities make this an exciting place to work. Not like other retailers.

Cons

None at this time. Too many people get caught up on the negatives, but this company is growing and there are many opportunities.

Pros

Beautiful stores, one weekend off per month, flexible schedule, closed on some holidays, family oriented company, interest free account, employee discount.

Cons

They promote some employees too fast, large turnover which hurts company profits. They sat they have an open door policy, but when you go to management with something it turns into a negative on you.
