Vantaggi
The best part of Neiman Marcus corporate is the people. The vast majority of your peers and leaders are good, helpful and encouraging people. Management is flexible and the company has established many pro-worker policies to give the worker more ways to complete and conduct their work how they see fit (results only work environment). There are many ways within the company to reward peers, and recognition is a common practice. It can be great working with a recognizable brand name. The company is also heavily invested in changing their customer experience, internal processes and using technologies to bring us up to par with other luxury retailers. The company has also embraced remote work since 2020 with major successes as a result.
Svantaggi
Misalignment from the leadership team is common. Many projects are worked on for weeks or months at a time and then dropped when old information or direction is eventually communicated. Salaries are below market average, but bonus amounts and the flexible work schedule can off set that for some. Bad politics or disagreements on a initiative's value/purpose from the c-suite have trickled down to lower management and created a silo mentality on occasion. A "need to know basis" attitude does come up on projects that require that person's input and involvement. The expansion of middle management over the past few years (Directors through VPs) has reduced the agency of lower managers and their teams to a degree.
