Pros

The training program to become a buyer is well-thought out. You really get a 360 degree view of the company from asset protection to store planning and real estate to visual merchandising to advertising while learning how to be a buyer.

Cons

The career path bounces you back and forth between the corporate buying office and the stores. (2 years at each juncture.) The problem is each job requires such different skills that you could be successful at one and then suck at another. But the training doesn't necessarily help you prepare for those challenges. It's really about lucking out and having the right boss who will coach you along the challenges and help develop you.

Pros

Neiman Marcus Online is an office full of young people. It is a fun, young, modern work environment. Most of the Online staff is between the ages of 22 and 35. The 30% discount is helpful, but may not get used as often if this is your first job and you're trying to save. Benefits include being updated months in advance on new fashion trends and special drastic discounts on sample sale merchandise. Discounts are also available in Neiman Marcus and Cusp stores and at NeimanMarcus.com and Cusp.com. Hours are pretty relaxed and employees are allowed to work on their own rather than being micro-managed.

Cons

Even though we are in an office and working for a website, it is still retail. Holiday time is a little crazy and time off is at a minimum. In addition, salaries and benefits are much lower than the average for the field. On the upside, the NM reputation goes further than salary when searching for other employment. The dress code is still business casual, and most offices have dropped that by now. No denim, no tennis shoes. Invest in lots of black and if you are female, lots of fancy footware. This is not a job for the faint of ego.
