Pros

Very friendly staff, clean store, everything is very organized. I feel like you will have a very long career at Vanmar. If you have great attention to detail and you know how to hold your team accountable and really show. Great customer service.

Cons

This company is extremely outdated to the point where it is very hard to hire a new staff. Up to recently women were only allowed to wear skirts, as far as dress code goes women are only allowed to wear black pants. The ideal that people cannot have their cell phones near them is very interesting considering there are an individual who have to take care of sickly parents, have kids, currently pregnant, and have had cancer and needed to connect with their doctors. The history of the company has let people go over such a mediocre reasons and I feel like they will always have a hard time hiring individual who wanted to stick it out with the company. The company does not believe in advertising for themselves, but will opening advertise for other companies in their store. They’re very outdated ideologies that is currently going on.

Pros

Employee discount- 20%. Can't find anything else positive!

Cons

1.Schedule is all over the place 2. Have to do truck twice a week with 0 help and just 1 person per dept. 3. Worst benefits EVER, pto given out every quarter which makes it hard to plan any time off.. you get like 20hrs every quarter... 4. Not allowed to take any unpaid time off.. 5. You get points for being late 1 minute, yes 1 minute and you get an tardee.. 6. Wannabe Micromanagers. 7. Managers hired straight out of collage with 0 work experiance who try to tell ppl with 20+ retail experiance how to do their jobs. 8. 0 communication and that is about anything.. if your co worker from your dept. Calls sick that day , you are not told but have to ask yourself when you see that they are not there.. 9. Dress code is a joke. Mr.VonMaur is stuck in the 80s.
