Pros

one weekend off per month 20% employee discount decent hourly wage clean and organized retail environment good benefits 1% commission for all departments, shoes 8%

Cons

While working at Von Maur I witnessed countless promotion declines due to the fact that the employee interviewing for a promotion was simply more qualified, skilled and competent than the the current manager. Senior managers are scared for their jobs and are only willing to promote those with the hightest "brown nose" skills. It happened to me and many of my co-workers. Ladies, I hope you like wearing skirts and pantyhose because it is a dress code requirement. If you are a go-getter with outstanding customer service and merchandising skills apply with a company who embrases talent and isn't scared of it.

Pros

Great benefits. Ability to move up quickly if upper management takes to you well. Managers are not salaried which is a huge benefit during holiday season. They pay time and a half on Sundays and are closed all holidays which most retailers are not.

Cons

There can be some favoritism when it comes to promotions. Which can either work strongly in your favor or strongly against you. They are sticklers for being fair when it comes to schedules which can make it difficult to change your schedule and get more than one weekend off a month. Obviously it's retail and nights and weekends are required.

Pros

Atmosphere, clientele, no extended hours, commission on all sales for all sales associates.

Cons

Females must wear skirt or dress with pantyhose-no exceptions. Extremely strict with policies- do not make exceptions on a personal basis.
