Pros

The people you work with is the best reason to work at Neiman Marcus, followed by the discounts that are available throughout the year.

Cons

Salaries are less than industry average, the health benefits are very expensive for good coverage, you get 3 wks of vacation after 1year, however that is usually spent on non-holiday days such as Good Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas/New Years Eve as those are not paid holidays. The annual bonus is dependent upon making a plan that is most often unachievable.

* If you have an amazing team and management the day goes by fast. * Commission. * Easy to rely on foot traffic to meet goals. * If you ask for growth, they set thing ups that align with what you want, you just need to ask.

Cons

* If its slow, its SLOW. * There can be drama, it just depends on the department you're in.

Pros

good pay, good retired tech/fashion prop sales, hour long lunches

Cons

terrible work environment with whole bunch of eating disorder talk and projection at models (even from some management), management makes everyone stay until 4:30 even when all the minimum work requirement (and oftentimes more) is done, they will write you up for something extremely small then dismiss a big thing from another employee, terrible communication between managers therefore terrible communication to employees, employees get publicly ridiculed when they're just asking questions even amidst the terrible communication issues that are already there,
