Pros
As a college student, I appreciate that maurices (and the store manager) allows the flexibility to schedule time off when needed. The pay is great for retail (at least it is for my location). Also, I've met some really great people.
Cons
You absolutely do NOT get paid for all the work you do. With how the sales work, you'd think you were working in commission, but you're not. Customers pick up on it too, which may put them in an uncomfortable situation as well. And the drama these "numbers" create between the staff is absolutely ridiculous. The new store manager is probably the best thing to happen to this company for quite some time. Before she came, the store was falling to pieces. Also, if you want an advancement, make sure you are persistent. I tried getting a full time position, and wasn't even given a chance before the hired someone else. I feel like favorites are played quite often in this business. If they don't like you, they'll do/come up with just about anything to get you out of there. The company seems money hungry. The upper management needs some serious work. And the company in general needs to catch up with the rest of them. Honestly, this is probably the worst company I've ever worked for.
