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

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,
