Gordmans Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Gordmans full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – It was a job! That is all I can say!

Cons – Managers have favoritism. Do not care about employees unless you are kissing their butt or sleeping with someone of management. Will work you without breaks and lunches but than will have you sign as though you have taken a lunch. EEOC needs to be called in on them! Point blank I could go on and on but stay clear of this place.

Current Employee – been working at Gordmans

Pros – The assocaites, we have a good time and get the job done.

Cons – Too focused on associates 'wasting time' instead of guests.
Payroll is cut to far from any other company, 1 person can be responsible for up to 3 departments at time of close.
No work, life balance
Always overlooked for promotions, they always hire from outside even after promising promotions for years.

Advice to Senior Management – Look at giving on payroll some to help on sales floor to push sales.

Current Employee – been working at Gordmans

Pros – 20% Discount, Rarely a dull day

Cons – Lack of internal promotions company-wide, no communication, no work life balance.

Advice to Senior Management – If you're interested in developing associates and management to advance in the ranks than there has to be an entire culture shift throughout the company. There is an exceptionally high turnover rate because no one feels safe in the current position as for a while it felt that anyone could be fired at any time, why wouldn't they look for new jobs? Also moving out of state for the same position is not a development opportunity, especially with the previously mentioned turnover rate it is an attempt to provide too much power over associates hoping to grow in the company and hence why no one is growing.

Former Employee – worked at Gordmans

Pros – Closed the 3 big holiday's-- Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Great 1st job out of college as a resume builder. The fellow associates are great.

Cons – The burnout rate at Gordmans is about 2 years. The first 6 months the corporate people will leave you alone, then after that period expires, they treat you like you don't deserve the priviledge to work for them. The home office people here in Omaha are the only people that have a "work/life balance". The Store Managers worry more about payroll than covering the sales floor. There are never enough sales people on the floor and the store gets trashed. Working on a Friday, Sat, or Sunday you can expect to ring on the register all night long. The fitting room returns pile up, and it takes up to 3 hours after close to properly do returns and recovery.

Advice to Senior Management – Allow more hours for the stores. Walmart, Kohls, or Target NEVER look as bad as Gordmans does on any given weekend, and they do more business. Respect the employees and say THANKS now and again. The visits from the DM's should be ones of learning, and not just tearing down.

Current Employee – been working at Gordmans

Pros – Great place to gain work experience and hands on learning, and will give you lots of great "hire me" points with future employers if you can hack it out for a while there.

Cons – Salary managers have a 6 month shelf life, store managers around 2, maybe 3, years. They are quick to promote but often give the job you were promised to someone outside the company.

Advice to Senior Management – None.

Current Employee – been working at Gordmans

Pros – 20% Employee discount. Friendly Associates.

Cons – Zero work life balance. Expected to put the company's needs above the needs of family. Do not care about associates, other than how much work they can do. Little or no support from upper management. High Management turnover in this area. Make promises upon hire of people that they do not keep. Only remember the ADA in respect to shoppers, ignore it when applied to associates.

Advice to Senior Management – Put your own "core values" into action.
