Von Maur reviews

As with most retail, hours aren't great, and you can only take off one weekend a month. They value coverage, so there are times where there are too many people on the floor and not enough stuff to do. Management doesn't dictate, and I feel like they could be more straightforward. In my personal opinion, pay is low for what's supposed to be a higher-end department store; department managers barely get paid more than associates. Biggest gripe is definitely the fact that EVERYTHING about the store is outdated. Systems, policies, dress code, and just the overall look of the store all haven't changed in about 100 years.

Being in upper management, you are required to put your job first, above anything else including your family. Must be 100% flexible when it comes to your schedule, no questions asked. Work week consistently around 50 hours/week. Pay doesn't reflect how much time and effort is put into our jobs. Not much recognition for executives in the stores. We are there to make our employees happy and keep them motivated. Who does that for us? The store manager and regional director should provide more feedback, not just twice a year at review time. A lot of things we do go unnoticed, most managers feel this way...
