Von Maur reviews

Intense dread when driving to work Fear of being let go on a daily basis Lack of training Dress code. As a department manager, Management didn't like my style of leading (I'm a former Marine, so I lead from the front and protected my people in my department) Management fired THREE of my associates without even consulting with me first. Floor managers who feel threatened will "take out the competition" rather than lead Living in constant fear of losing your job. You will get written up on bogus information if management has it out for you. Once you are "labeled" in Von Maur, that was your only shot. If you fail at an interview in a certain position, they will never consider you again. No training--they just throw you out on the floor and it's sink or swim If you are a veteran and request veteran's day off, they give you A LOT of grief for it and make you feel like you're letting everyone down No drinking water on the sales floor. Listening to the same piano music over and over again Advice to employees who feel beat down: You can do so much better elsewhere. You don't have to be treated like this.

-Poor work environment (women not allowed to wear pants, not allowed food or water at desk, not allowed any personal items at desk, no flexible hours, strict "break times, minimal group work, lack of presentations) -Culture is one of silence, not enthusiasm -Management treats employees like middle schoolers (can't get up until the "bell" rings!) -Great learning for 2-3 years, but little beyond that, due to company structure -Not given "observed holidays" as vacation days
