Neiman Marcus reviews

This store is event driven. Expect to make many phone calls and work client books heavily. Typically, you can expect at least one event per month…if not 2.

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.
