Pros
The store hours are better. Hourly pay for a product specialist position is higher than some of the other retailers.
Cons
Bonuses are not paid in cash. Only by Neiman Marcus gift cards. Corporate policies change with the wind. IT technology far behind Nordstrom and Macy's. Health benefits are ok. The out of pocket is high for medical coverage $1500 plus another $600. Really? A Corporation the size of NM couldn't negotiate a better policy. In our store an employee who has had written and substantiated complaints receives no punishment. I am not sure what the maximum number is before management deems it necessary to review. Requesting a transfer to another store is not handled in a timely manner. Some store managers micro manage their department managers to the extent of forcing them to take a stress leave.
