Von Maur reviews

Extremely high turnover rate. Managers will tell you that their main priority is to develop their employees but I really felt that they were always looking to turn the staff over. Department managers have little autonomy in their own departments. Everything must go past upper management.

Von Maur is looking for Von Maur types - drones in essence. You have to fit a mold that they want, I was looked at negatively that I wasn't a "typical" looking Von Maur associate. They tell you in their interview process that they love individuality and are open to a pluralistic opinionated staff - that isn't the case. The diversity is low and the desire to help their staff is minimal. If you don't want to stay with Von Maur for the rest of your life - they have no use for you. I had incidents where another associate accosted me on the sales floor and I was blamed. The commission is miniscule but it is enough to make the other associates cut throat, especially in a popular department like shoes or juniors. If you push back on any of the upper tiers decisions - it will be the end of you.
