Pros

The job pays decently for what it is. There is a good training system in place and their customer service philosophy is very strong.

Cons

While corporate wants everyone to work as a team, there are very specific stats that each person has to meet. That means that everyone is trying to essentially "beat" the other associates with sales, charge card sign-ups, etc. Associates are strongly encouraged to wear only current maurices clothing, which gets expensive. Their system for finding internal theft is flawed as well. In any given day, all associates and managers will ring sales on every cash register. This means that, if at the end of the day, a register doesn't balance, someone could be blamed that was not responsible. There is no way to track exactly who may be responsible, so corporate relies on assumptions and finger-pointing. Very unprofessional and disrespectful to those who take their careers seriously.

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.
