Pros

The associate discount is great. At Neiman Marcus you will learn to put out fires quickly and to become very resourceful. The vacation time is increased after two years. It's a great place to learn luxury retail with a focus on Customer satisfaction.

Cons

The working environment is horrible. It seems that there are a select few that are picked to succeed based on who they know regardless of their work ethic or productivity. Mid-management is clueless and doesn't help employees further their careers. The pay is horrible! Neiman Marcus pays well below industry standard, which is why most employees end up leaving to work for other retailers based out of DFW.

* 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.
