Neiman Marcus reviews

I experienced the buyers coming into the company I currently work for to buy for Spring 2013, they were all incredibly rude to me since I am the Assistant Executive to Senior Accounts and not Executive to Senior Accounts. The buyers were offended that we had interns sit in on the meeting to help them learn, and if they didn't like a garment from the collection they actually made fun of it. I couldn't believe that NM would allow such offensive behavior from their buyers.

Incompetent, clueless management. The direct division is run by the most archaic merchants I've ever seen. No vision, no leadership. They change their minds and cause the people who work for them (buyers, planners, assistants) to do the same work again & again. Many of them are just plain mean, too. DMM's scream at their staff, even throw shoes at people. Vacations are cancelled at the last minute if you can even get one approved. The bonus plan sounds good but the criteria is so high (and I have several other retailers on my resume to benchmark against) that no one ever gets one. Everyone is cut-throat. Not a team environment at all. Figure it out yourself because no one will teach or train you. My own direct manager didn't have a touchbass with me until my 3rd week at the office- always too busy!! Work environment is depressing- attached to a warehouse with no Windows's except for the DMM's hallway. The parking lot is dark and scary at night.
