Pros

The only good reason to work at Neiman Marcus is if you have plenty of money and simply want the 30% employee discount--otherwise you can't afford to even shop here.

Cons

The pay is lower than most comparable companies The benefits are so expensive you can barely afford them They find every little thing they can to avoid paying the miniscule bonus that they offer. The work you do is never enough-never good enough No appreciation from superiors Not easy to get promoted. They want you to stress yourself out and try to squeeze 12 hours of work into one 8 hour shift. They don't fill positions when people leave departments and then say they don't have the budget to offer OT but they get mad because the work isn't getting done. Favoritism runs rampant.

* If you have an amazing team and management the day goes by fast. * Commission. * Easy to rely on foot traffic to meet goals. * If you ask for growth, they set thing ups that align with what you want, you just need to ask.

Cons

* If its slow, its SLOW. * There can be drama, it just depends on the department you're in.

Pros

Employee discount and free samples

Cons

A toxic environment where sales are almost zero because vendors are pulling their product off the shelf because their bills aren’t getting paid. They’re in the middle of coming out of a bankruptcy , if a client does come in, we usually don’t have the product to sell them ,only lines who are partially thriving is fragrance ! The hours are terrible. You get off work at nine and you’re expected to be back at 9:30 AM.
