Pros
Truly value diversity. Innovative. Many smart people work at Neiman Marcus. Iconic brand. Good pay. Great employee sales. If you love fashion and luxury, you'll likely love it here.
Cons
Cut throat culture where it can be more about "what I did" versus "what can I do to help you." Honestly, I felt like a bit of an outsider the whole time I was there, and more like a means to an end than a valued member of the team. For instance, it felt like colleagues were looking for ways they could use me to advance their own careers, or not share information fully with me because it might get me ahead instead of them. There are many hungry young fashion lovers at Neiman Marcus who seem like they'll do almost anything to advance. Smart, yes, but lacking foundational business experience. Probably a necessary evil, but much more pronounced at Neiman Marcus than I've seen at other companies. Would I work there again someday? Yes, for the right position, working with the right people.
