Pros
I've worked in a LOT of retail places, and by far, Maurices has been one of the best. The environment is positive, the benefits *rock* (40% off merchandise?! Heck yes!), the company is both employee and customer-focused, and the store hours are so nice.
Cons
It might just be my store, but I find us short-handed all the time. I agreed to this position because I was promised 20 hours a week, 25 tops. But the past month, I've been working 30+ hours a week. Because we only have about 8 employees when our staff is full, it's still annoying when you're getting calls because someone called off. That's something I miss about working in a larger store-- not being bothered when someone else doesn't show up for work.
