      Pros

      Discount is excellent Some great customers More mature working staff, versus incompetent kids...BUT...

      Cons

      They do ALL of their own cleaning, shoveling and all. This means YOU, the part-time employee.. You do so in their professional attire, which feel very fake and you keep a smile on your face. The wages you get are not high and the clothes are not affordable and while they do require you to wear the clothes, you have to dress seasonally when you do. If you live in a cold part f the US and it is technically spring...get ready to freeze and be uncomfortable. Management does not give standing breaks to people after five hours and this affects morale.

      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.
