      Pros

      Daily Interactions with Co-Workers. At times was a fun environment to work in. Interesting Projects kept the work pace enjoyable.

      Cons

      Incompetent doesn't even begin to describe the C-Level executives. Executive Rejects from other fashion retailers were hired and 20 or so new "Vice President" positions were created; not long after the company tanked even further and continues to do so.

      Pros

      None. This company is garbage compared to how it used to be.

      Cons

      Slave wages, not enough hours for anyone except management because the private equity company that owns us has cut our staff to a skeleton crew even on busy days. Management and associate alike are stretched super thin to the point of exhaustion. Even as a sales associate, there was a time I supported myself on a Talbots salary. Now I have to choose between paying my car insurance or getting an oil change. I used to get 30+ hours a week even as a sales associate. Now I'm lucky if I get 20. Health benefits are a rip-off. The company in my observation has had a time finding and maintaining good workers. If you value your livelihood, run fast and run far.
