      Pros

      Great discount and opportunities to earn company money towards wardrobe for all employees. Benefits (for full time employees only) were decent. Time off was not difficult to obtain. Style of merchandise is much improved, however quality needs to follow.

      Cons

      Many changes to the company and upper management over the last few years resulted in much turnover, which was not all good. Communication on all levels needed improvement.

      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.
