Pros

The discount for Neiman's is great! They do offer perks as far as catching shoplifters in the form of a gift card back to the store. Training is often done quickly but in a fast store like this, you need to be a quick learner.

Cons

The wage/merit increase is a joke. You can work there for 5+ years and still not get $1 more than when you started. Raises consist of .11 cents. You are judged by how you look and what you wear and are expected to do the same of the customers, We cater to the people who can afford $4000 gowns, if you or your husband do not have that type of money I suggest you don't work here. This place will make you hate life.

Pros

* 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.
