Pros

-Good discount (40%) -High energy -Great management team -Good training program -Great learning experience but definitely not a career

Cons

-Rarely any communication with higher management -Upper management does not talk to sales associates, only managers, so they only know what the managers have to say -For part time associates, unrealistic goals are set, for example, performance is expected to be the same for a full time manager (36+ hours) and a part time associate (4+ hours), working only 4 hours a week does not give the associate time to recover from a slow day in order to bring their numbers (net sales, UPT, ADS, and credit cards) up -In some locations, the dress code states that current color story clothes from Maurices must be worn for every shift making it difficult for part time sales associates to afford to work there

Pros

AMAZING team and encouraging, helpful supervisors. Helped me in every aspect of life, even outside work. Definitely made connections for life.

Cons

Retail hours: holidays, evenings, and weekends. Lower than average pay, and benefits are not the best.

Pros

I work with a great group of girls that really care about the people they work with each day.

Cons

DL is very micro managing and no one does anything because she's been with the company for years. They play favorites in the district and say they want to support you in a project but they really want to control it and have you do it their way but they aren't there for the execution of it. They control when and how often you can use your PTO and believe that you have to eat sleep and breath maurices even in your days off. Its absolutely draining. There are some good DLs but there are some that are just narcissistic. And there is no way to provide the feedback of what you are dealing with because you are dismissed, told that she knows what she's talking about because of the years under her belt and then when the plan fails that wasn't your plan to begin with, you get blamed. Its unfair and I feel trapped.
