Pros

The positive side to working for Neiman Marcus was the exposure to the fashion world. Salvage and sample sales are the best as you get designer name brands for very low prices.

Cons

No work life balance. Very little recognition for extra effort. Atmosphere was extremely stuck up and there was very little room for growth and development. Buyers took long lunch breaks and upper management did not have any respect for lower level coordinators or assistant buyers.

Pros

* 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,
