I went from a write-up as a sales associate to a promotion on the management team within 7 months. - Part Time Assistant Manager Maurices Employee Review

The pressure. There is a lot of pressure to meet goals and standards on a daily basis, and that can be a heavy load on each associate- full time, part time, or management. Although we are supposed to be a "team," it doesn't always feel that way; the girls can get very competitive and they even steal sales from each other, just to make numbers for the day. There is also extreme pressure for Maurices credit card sign-ups, which is stressful on its own on a whole different level. Sometimes the hours are long and exhausting. It seems like we do a lot, in comparison with other retailers, for no extra reward.
