Pros

When I first started working there, the company was fun to work for and the pay was great.

Cons

Upper management is fake and has no clue what they are doing. They hired too many people for my department and associates could not make their goals. Many perks that Von Maur used to have are no longer there since they are trying to expand so rapidly.

Pros

Close early on holiday eve's (christmas eve, new years eve) so you can be with your family, special Sunday pay, they close the store for inventory instead of making employees work overnight (like Dillards), many contests and incentives, they promote from within (yes even the under-qualified individuals) also, my store was very accommodating to those who are pregnant. I had a wonderful work experience throughout my pregnancy there. They allowed more than the federally required times for you to break if you had to pump (nursing) in a special office they made just for nursing employees.

Cons

women HAVE to wear panty hose and skirts. we are not allowed to wear pants. my department manager was a micromanager

Pros

Easy, Fun, Fast Passed, Discount, Awesome Coworkers. I was a seasonal gift wrapper, and it was a very easy job. You got set up at your little station and just wrap and label. Gift wrapping is such a mindless task, it was nice to chat with the other employees while you worked. I never had a problem with a customer or other employee. I also thought the management was very nice and friendly.

Cons

Until the actual Christmas shopping picked up, the gift wrap area could be slow. Women must wear skirts. It is a dated practice that seems a little sexist. I would much rather have had a uniform than wear skirts.
