Pros
- 40% discount - Worked with my college class schedule - Lots of hours during high seasons ( like holidays)
Cons
- The management really pushes you to sell credit and there is a four item per customer expectation ( meaning you, as the associate, are shooting to sell four items to every single customer in the store) The pressure is sometimes outrageous and many times I went home crying from work because of it. - The customers get annoyed very easily with Maurices approach to credit. The sales approach was often seen as pushy. Even though I was trying not to be pushy, my manager continually wanted me to be. - Asking for a day off of work because of the small amount of employees was terrible. The managers would always request of their days ahead of time and then when you wanted a day off for a specific reason they gave you a hard time - The dress code at my Maurices was somewhat ridiculous. You had to have seven articles of clothing on ( for example, a ring, earrings, necklace, top, shoes, pants, and a cardigan) You were also expected to wear the color story ( the colors of the clothing) that were in. There was a lot of pressure to buy clothing and because of this I spent a lot of money, probably more than I saved.
