Pros

Highly respective organization in high end retail market. Stable organization with excellent vision from senior management. Outstanding executive training program. Great opportunity for advancement. Store locations in excellent and exciting cities. Good job opportunities across many division lines.

Cons

Can't think of any downside...retail hours can be tough, but so are hours in most corporate environments these days. If you love a fast paced environment and love retailing, NM is a great company.

Pros

Commission at Neiman's can range from 6% in contemporary clothing 8% in handbags and furs and 10% in shoes and cosmetics. You have a possiblity of selling anywhere from $3,000 to 15,000 per day earning you a very healthy commission. The medical benefits are great as well as vacation time earned. They also have a pretty pension plan.

Cons

The down fall of working at Neiman is if anything is returned to the store, you have to paid the commission earned back. So, the more you sell, the more returns you will have. For example, if you sold $40,000 in a week, and your commission was 10%, then your earnings for the week will be $4,000 for week. So, the following week you had about $17,000 in returns, then you owe the store back $1,700. As you sell during that week of returns, the deficit is deducted from those sell.

Pros

They are very eager to promote associates within the company so there is a lot of room for advancement. d

Cons

Many people stay at the company for 20 to 30 years so it may take a long time if you want to advance.
