Good earning potential but management only cares about their bottom line.
Pros
Good earning potential. Neiman's is one of the best as far as pay if you're an hourly employee and they offer some of the highest commission around. Looks good on your resume, if you're able to "make it" at Neiman's other retailers will want you. The employees that stay here are usually high earners and really care about their jobs and their customers. They're generally very good at what they do and fun to work with.
Cons
As in all retail, you are only as good as the sales you are producing, If you're not making your goals, even if (you think) there is a valid reason, they don't want excuses. Neiman Marcus: where the weak are killed and eaten" hahahahaha, seriously, though. The associates work only on commission, no hourly pay so it's a very competitive atmoshpere. That's not necessarily a bad thing but people will do really underhanded things for a sale. Lots of bickering and fighting between associates and MUA's over sales. There is event after event after event with large goals for every event and it gets exhausting. Neiman's does very little, if any advertising so that means you are pre-selling for events to your customers in store and calling them on the phone. There are few people that like to be solicited on the phone!
